Which filter type should I choose?
Sponge filters suit shrimp, fry and betta tanks where gentle flow matters. Hang-on-back filters are the practical default for most community tanks, and canisters make sense above roughly 150 litres.

Aquarium Filters & Media in Nepal
The filter is the life support of the tank: it houses the bacteria that convert ammonia into something less lethal. Miscava stocks sponge, hang-on-back and canister filters, plus replacement media.
- Oversize it: Rate the filter for more volume than your tank holds — filtration is rarely the thing to economise on.
- Never rinse in tap water: Chlorine kills the bacteria colony. Rinse media in old tank water instead.
- Stagger replacements: Change one part of the media at a time, so the bacteria population is never reset at once.
Frequently Asked Questions about Fish Filters & Media
How often should filter media be replaced?
Mechanical floss can be rinsed weekly and replaced when it falls apart; biological media should be left alone for as long as possible, since it holds the bacteria colony. Replace it in stages, never all at once.
