Why You’ll Love It
The hygger Small Internal Filter has a 2-stage filtration system: the Bio Sponge Filter clears water and maintains tank health via mechanical filtration (fine sponge catches waste) and biological filtration (bio balls host beneficial bacteria). This small filter requires a minimum 2W air pump and airline (sold separately) to operate. The plastic chamber allows easy access to the filter media for maintenance or replacement. It is perfect for shrimp tanks, quarantine tanks, or fry tanks, ensuring the well-being of sensitive aquatic life.
Key Features
A Dual-Stage Filtration Solution for Small Fish Tanks
The hygger 044 Internal Filter is designed to provide a dual-stage filtration process for small fish tanks. The system combines mechanical filtration, which captures fish waste and fine debris, with a fine sponge and biological filtration. Bio balls offer ample surface area for beneficial bacterial colonies to thrive.
Fish-Safe Design & Easy Installation
This HG044 internal fish tank filter features a seamless, fish-safe design without any moving parts, safeguarding small fish from being sucked into the filter. It is designed to prevent the loss of tiny fry and maintain a gentle water flow, which is ideal for delicate invertebrates, including fry fish, betta, guppy, shrimp, and tetras, etc.
Oxygen-Enriching Filtration
The HG044 Internal Filter is an excellent choice for small aquariums. It maintains water cleanliness and promotes oxygenation through bubble aeration. The gentle water movement is ideal for fish species that prefer slow-flowing water.
Easy Maintenance Design
This low-maintenance filter allows for easy upkeep. You can replace the sponge with any standard-sized sponge that fits; cleaning the bio balls is required only every two months. For long-term maintenance, partial replacement of bio balls is recommended every six months, with only a third being replaced at one time to maintain a balanced bacterial colony.
Air Pump Compatibility
The small Internal Filter operates with an air pump (2w or higher) and airline tubing, which are not included with the filter. The filter’s convenient plastic chamber design provides quick and easy access for filter media maintenance or replacement, making it a user-friendly option.
Usage Tips
1. Before using the hygger Internal Filter, it’s essential to rinse the ceramic balls thoroughly. To maintain the stability of your aquarium’s ecosystem, use water from the aquarium itself rather than tap water for rinsing.
2. Bio Ball Specifications: The diameter of the bio balls is 1.8 cm. When it’s time to replace them, you can use the same size or smaller bio balls to ensure they fit properly within the filter and continue providing the necessary surface area for beneficial bacteria.

Very pleased with the design of this small internal filter! Works well in my 20 gal aquarium!
Great for my 5 gallons tanks
First one I got was missing the hole for the aeration. I contacted Hygger about the problem sent them a copy of my invoice and in a few days I had a brand new one working happily in my shrimp tank now great people to work with. I will continue to buy from them.
I absolutely love this product it fits good in my 5 gallon and fits even better inside my 10 gallon. I love how it’s able to be used in multiple tanks and also safe for my Betta and also for my fry. Coming with pearls is also a plus it keeps the water clean and clear I can’t wait to get more products from this company.
This was a great purchase for one of my small tanks. Helps to keep it clean and very affordable for me.
Nice and small
