Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
The Whisper Power Filter for aquariums offers quiet, 3-stage filtration for clean water and healthy fish. Dual-sided mesh catches debris and fish waste in its dense, fibrous network, then Ultra-Activated carbon provides chemical filtration by absorbing odors and discoloration. Biological filtration is provided by Bio-Foam, which creates a large, three-dimensional area for cultivating aerobic bacteria, which eliminate toxic ammonia and nitrites. No moving parts means long-term reliability. Uses Stay Clean technology to help keep your aquarium clean, clear and healthy, reduce buildup on aquarium glass and bind small dirt particles to make them easier to filter. This filter uses easy-to-change Whisper Bio-Bag Cartridges (size medium), which trap particles floating in your aquarium. The Whisper Power Filter 10 treats aquariums up to 10 gallons (90 GPH).

Questions
Is this filter adjustable
- No, the flow rate is not adjustable.

Is this filter safe for a beta in a 5 gallon tank? I’m worried about the suction being too strong and harming my fish.
- I don't know how safe it would be in a 5-gallon tank w a beta, but we have a larger tank w two goldfish and it works well. Not too much suction to harm them and very quiet.
Helpful?
I have a box of Large Whisper Bio-bag filter cartridges What filter can I use them in?
- Those fit the Whispers 20,30, 40, and 60. They also fit the Whisper IQ filters for 20 gallon tanks and larger.
Helpful?
Can I use this product for s 3.5 gallon tank
- It may be make a little mess as for the water flowing back into the tank, but don't see where that would be much of a problem depending on what you have for fish and substrate/gravel used
Helpful?
Would the movement from the filter create enough oxegyn in a 10 gallon tank for a betta fish and a couple of shrimp, or do i also need to add an aerator for them?
- Yes, it would create more than enough oxygen for those guys. Bettas do not like nor need a lot of water flow as they can breathe air by swimming to the surface as well. We would recommend the Whisper IQ 10 so that you can adjust the flow as necessary for your fish. The shrimp and betta would both benefit from live plants as well. For more help, email our team at petsupport@spectrumbrands.com.

Will I need to buy anything else for the proper filtration?
- No, this filter comes with everything you need to get it up and going, including the first cartridge. You will need to buy replacement cartridges within the first month as they should be changed about every 3-4 weeks.

How do you attach the tubing to the PF 20 filter
- ? Airline tubing doesn't get attached to an outside filter. As it's basically a filtration device to clean the tank. Unless if you mean you don't know how to attach tubing from your pump to air stones or other items that use air pumps in your aquarium then you need to repost the question to clarify what you mean.

Does this filter need an air pump? I'm guessing not but just wanted to make sure before I bought it
- Thank you for your interest in this filter, Anico03! No, it does not need an air pump as it has its own motor. You may want an air pump and air stone as well, if you are overstocked or unable to do your weekly water changes (25%) regularly.
