First may I ask, Why no filter? Some kind of filtration is needed in

My daughter's small betta tank has no filter. 50% water change weekly, and

the
java moss eats lots of nitrate and grows fast.


These last few posts are why I said "..is needed in almost

I know there are exceptions, but since the poster seemed to be somewhat
new to the hobby, I elected not to get complicated. But, you were all
absolutely correct.
