Getting a betta tommorow :-D

[zoomer]

Will they get sucked up by one of those filters that sucks from the bottom, and all the stuff sticks to the velcro like stuff, and then the water comes out the top? I don't know what they're called.

Are you describing a power filter? It depends. There is a great chance that it'll shred your Bettas lovely fins, though. In-tank Whisper filters work very well, and have a low setting that does not disturb the Betta. You have to understand that Bettas (besides Plakats) are more fin than they are body, a current will blow them around the tank constantly and really irritates them.

I totally recommend Small World filters, they connect to an air pump, and have sponge & carbon media that keeps the water looking clean. You will still need to do 100% changes every week on anything under 5 gallons, with or without a filter, as cycling is near impossible in a small tank.
