It may not be as compact as my other 10gal-size filter, but I like the upward-facing inlet, so that I can pull the sponge off for super easy cleaning without detaching the whole unit every time, I like the adjustable length uplift tube, and I like the angled outlet. The foam cell density is nice and close, and the plastics don't feel as thin and fragile as a lot of other filter units at its price point. I've got a few hygger-branded tank accessories at this point and I'm definitely starting to trust their manufacturing quality/selection criteria. ...I actually didn't even end up using it in my sponge-filter-based tank, I'm buying a second one for that. Turns out, some of the parts combine perfectly with the filter inlet for my cannister filter in my main tank, so I'm using it as an upgraded shrimp-safe prefilter screen. I got frustrated with my last prefilter since the foam wasn't as dense as this and it was downward-facing, so this checks multiple boxes even outside of its intended use-case! Review: Works great - I was originally using the filter that came with my 5 gallon aquarium but I hated how the flow of it whipped my betta around when he swam near it and having to replace the filters regularly since they fell apart easily. I tried using a sponge filter in that to reduce waste and the flow rate but a biofilm formed at the water surface from lack of flow from the filter. I read online how these type of sponge filters are ideal specially for bettas so I bought this filter along with the Hygger air pump. It was easy to set up and while it takes up some room in the tank it works SO much better than the original tank filter. It's fairly quiet, the flow is gentle and doesn't whip my betta around, the water is crystal clear and no biofilm on the surface. I just rinse the sponge in old aquarium water after siphoning every month or so after 6 months it's still in great shape. I like that it came with a replacement sponge but I have a feeling it'll be a while before I have to replace it. ## Features - Single sponge aquarium filter, helps your small fish or shrimp to live a happy life - This single sponge filter takes up no more room, perfect for use in 5-15 gallon fish tank - 1 single sponge filter + 1 spare sponge+ 2 suction cups are included in a pack. - Rinse or squeeze the sponges by using the aquarium water - All the parts of this filter are detachable, you can easily to assemble them together ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07XZ625DG | | ASIN | B07XZ625DG | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,942 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #79 in Aquarium Filters | | Brand Name | hygger | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (552) | | Date First Available | September 24, 2019 | | Date First Available | September 24, 2019 | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 7.68 x 3.35 x 2.13 inches | | Item Weight | 2.89 ounces | | Manufacturer | hygger | | Manufacturer | hygger | | Package Dimensions | 7.68 x 3.35 x 2.13 inches; 2.89 ounces | | Target Audience Keyword | Fish | ## Images ![hygger Aquarium Single Sponge Filter for Small Fish Tank 5-15 Gallon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615x2NcyKPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New favorite sponge filter style *by J***O on January 5, 2026* What a delightful little sponge filter!

I have this single one and I have a double for my 10gallon. No issues with the double at all! But the single comes unsuctioned a lot and it's a bit annoying ## Frequently Bought Together - hygger Aquarium Single Sponge Filter for Small Fish Tank 5-15 Gallon - PENN-PLAX Standard Airline Tubing for Aquariums – Clear and Flexible – Resists Kinking – Safe for Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Tanks – 8 Feet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/163625388-hygger-aquarium-single-sponge-filter-for-small-fish-tank-5](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/163625388-hygger-aquarium-single-sponge-filter-for-small-fish-tank-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
