What is a power filter for fish tank?

It depends what filter you have.... you can have external filters, internal filters, biological filters, canister filters and mechanical filters..... but basically water gets sucked up through a pipe and cleaned by being pushed through meshes, catridges, sponges..... then goes out through enough pipe and returned back into the aquariam.

Answer 2

A power filter refers to a specific type of filter that hangs on the back of the aquarium. Water is drawn up a tube from the aquarium, passes through a number of different types of media, and then 'waterfalls' back into the aquarium.

Answer 3

You may need filter for your fish tank because it cleans your goldfish's feces and waste known as ammonia. If you don't have filter, and you clean the water everyday, your goldfish may have stress and trauma. Filter has the main job to oxygenate the water. If you don't have filter, and you clean the tank everyday and cause your goldfishes to have stress and trauma, they can have a disease called pop-eye from it. So, I would advise that you should buy an filter as soon as possible before your goldfish has pop-eye.
