I just got a mini bow with filter, and hood/light. All in working order. I had a 25 watt heater so now its in there. Im letting it run for a few hours, than im putting in one of my bettas. Thing is. In the filter, theres a white pouch u know, i think its for the carbon, but she was out of carbon so there isnt any in there. Is it safe to put it in, and let it run, and have my betta in it without carbon until i can buy it. I dont know what type it is, i got it from the classifieds

Well carbon is used to get rid of chemicals like medicine so your okay without it, thats why they say before you medicate take out the carbon

I put him in, i had to ;D Well, he seems to like it, except the current from the filter pushes him down when he swims through it, will it harm him at all? Also he keeps flaring at the heater and the filter and the thermometer

no it doesnt have a setting. He will probably gain resistance to the current, like sapphire did, or figure out how to swim behind the current.

yup, my whisper filter had no control and he gained knowledge and strength and swims against or behind it, and i pushed up gravel near it and put a cave near it, that way he has a sanctuary ;D
