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.

Can i Keep molly in a fish bowl?

No, a fish bowl is not an appropriate environment for keeping molly fish as they require a larger tank with good filtration and water quality. Molly fish need space to swim and thrive, so a fish bowl would not provide enough room for them to be happy and healthy. It is recommended to keep molly fish in a tank that is at least 10 gallons in size.

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.
