Yes, some type of filter is recommended, depending on the size of the tank and your setup, you can look at using a box filter, power filter, or even an undergravel filter. Personally I use power filters in my 10 gallon tanks with a fine mesh covering the intake tube, and do weekly water changes.

∙ 15y agoOh yes! It is recommended highly that you have a filter for guppies. Although, I am a trainee, so I just go by what I hear ;) But yes, I am sure. I would get a lower power one though just in case. (I mean one that doesn't really like suck up stuff that fast )

∙ 14y agoA tank really should have a filter. However, a pond does not need a filter. Simply have water hyancinths in with the goldfish and the water will remain balanced. If the fish are hungry, feed them goldfish food or even catfood. :-)

All life in water makes Ammonia as a bi-product. All aquaria and all fish kept in captivity need a filter to biologically convert (deadly poisonous) Ammonia into (fairly harmless) Nitrate.

You probably need to do more regular water changes. The molly could well be sitting in the cleaner water flow comming from the filter. I recommend a 50% water change weekly as a basic requirement for keeping any kind of fish.

What kind of fresh water fish don't need a heater other than goldf fish?
It is best that all fish have a filter besides Betta fish. Betta fish don't need filters cause the filter pushes them over with their big fins. Goldfish should have a filter on there tank because they are often overfed. If you have a filter you won't have to change the water as often. The only fish that shouldn't have a filer in captivity are Betta fish.
Should you always keep a filter on in a fish tank?
Yes you do need a filter in your fish tank ifyou don't the tank will build up dirt and the fish will die. Also when you get a fish tank you need to clean it out then fill it with water then put the filter in and wait 24 hours. This helps to ensure that the tank is somewhat stable before adding fish.
How do we have to keep molly's fish babies do they need oxygen?
Best bet is to let the parents tend the babies. Be wary of large filter intake grates and other fish. There are specially made baby holder that are made of mesh for water movement that clip into the inside of your tank to keep fry or injured fish safe while not needing a separate tank.
What is the best family fish?
The best family fish is either a blue geromie, a betta, or a guppie, or a gold fish. None of these fish need a filter.
