I agree that she should get a filter...but just to be difficult...if theres one
place you can get away without one..its a planted tank. :P

Hi plant lovers,
I am Kelly and I live in South Georgia, USA I have a 10 gal. tank
that
I am going to be adding more plants to and thought it might be best to
find
out how to do it.
At the moment I have one male Betta, Clyde, and one lonely Banana
plant,
Magilla, in my tank. Unless you count the green algae growing all over
everything!! So far, I don't have filters or anything yet--just a tank of
water and a plant light.
I look forward to seeing what you all have to say and learning about
plants that don't live in pots!!

Nice to meet you all, Kelly



Welcome!

First may I ask, Why no filter? Some kind of filtration is needed in almost
all tanks, if only to create a bilological filter bed to convert the ammonia
to nitrogen.
Since you're just getting into this, may I introduce to you one of the best
sources for aquaria info I've ever seen. The Aquaria FAQ.

Great stuff. Good luck!
