Whisper 3i In Tank Filter

Despite my delight at not winning any goldfish at the county fair, I was thwarted when we were getting ready to leave as some teenagers gave my son the fish THEY had won.

And now I’m a goldfish parent.

I already owned a small 2 gallon aquarium from our adventure owning sea monkeys but didn’t have a filtration system for fish. Two days after depositing our fish in their new home, the water was murky and one was dead. I knew we had to fix that immediately.

I looked for the Whisper brand out of habit, I used to buy that brand back when I was a kid and buying my aquarium supplies with my $3 a week allowance. The 3i in tank filter is designed specifically for tanks 3 gallons or under and is compact and simple to install.  It included one biobag filter cartridge with the filter.

The water cleared up within 24 hours and our fish are now thriving.  The bio-bag replacement filters are inexpensive and this has been a really simple solution to providing clean healthy water to our new family pets.
