Do you need to have a under gravel filter in planted aquarium?
No definitely not. I know Undergravel filters are very cheap but they are really BAD NEWS. My advice is to get a good external power filter large enough to turn over the tanks water a few times daily. All the aerobic work an 'undergravel filter' does when its converting Ammonia into Nitrate is carried out in the tank rather than outside. No poisonous materials are removed from the aquarium. So, you are only one 'power out' away from the tank becomming a poisonous trap for the fish contained therein. With an external filter you can easily remove most of the muck on a regular basis and if there is a power out you will not loose the 'cycle'.
What type of filter is best for a 10gallon aquarium?
External power filters are always better than any other kind of filter. The worst filter of the lot is the undergravel filter because it does not remove any poisons from the tank but stores them in the gravel from where they can poison the whole tank and kill all the fish if you have one power black out or a plug gets pulled out by accident.
How do aquarium filters oxygenate the water?
Aquarium filters oxygenate the water by creating surface agitation, which allows for the exchange of gases between the water and the air. This process helps to increase the oxygen levels in the water, which is essential for the health of the aquatic organisms living in the aquarium.

Can a new aquarium be used straight away if most of the water from the old aquarium is used and the bio filters from old aquarium?
um yes, i think soYes the tank can be planted and stocked immediately provided the filters don't loose their 'cycled' bacteria. The important thing is to keep the bacteria in the bio filters alive. You should use as much fresh water as you can rather than the old water. But make sure you use a conditioner to remove the Chlorine before turning on the filters.
