Just wanted to let other fish people know, this filter is the same size & shape as the Marineland Mini Penguin Cartridge.
My 10 gallon has a Marineland filter. I found a box of Aqua Tech filters at my local pet shop on sale for $2 and noticed that they look exactly the same as my Penguin Rite Size A filters. They work perfectly. So I figured I would look up the Aqua-Tech brand on Amazon since they usually have better prices than the stores. Turns out, the Aqua Tech brand seems to be more expensive than Marineland. As of this post, Marineland's Mini Penguin cartridges are sold on Amazon in a box of 6 filters for about $10 and qualifies for Super Saver Shipping. Which compared to $12 plus shipping for 3 cartridges is a pretty good deal.
I like to save money where I can and hopefully this bit of info helps someone else save money too.These work wonderful in our little 5 gallon tank. We have 2 fish named Sushi and Freckles. They are pretty dirty boys so this this actually keeps up with them.This Aqua-Tech filter cartridge fits my Aqua-Tech 5-15 Gallon Aquarium Power Filter. We just rinse it in water before putting it in the filter. It needs to be replaced every two to four weeks per the instructions.
We have goldfish, which always seem to dirty water more quickly than some other fish. So far, so good. Our little five gallon tank is clear and doesn't stink.I like these filters a little better than the tetra filters, and these cartridges are much easier to maintain (and less messy).Received when stated, and have used 2 of the 3 filters. Works exactly as expected and fish are doing fine.
