Once I'm on winter vacation, I will attempt to breed my bettas for the first time. The female is in a 10 gallon tank, and the water is 6 inches high. How can I get a sponge filter to work in the shallow water, when there are fry in the tank? Or is a filter unnecessary with the fry? Thanks.
How to put a filter in a betta's tank?

Replace the up tube with a shorter one, decreases the efficiency but still works for what you want.
Or replace the up tube with a 3/4" short pvc pipe with an airstone inside (lifts more water).
Either way make end 1/2" under the water.
Good luck, and don't forget the Barry White (or Beach Boys) music.

What exactly is the height of the tank? Is there any particular reason why it is only 6 inches deep? Mesh can solve your problem if your problem is bettas jumping out of the tank.

It's just a standard 10 gallon tank. It is very shallow, because I'm going to breed bettas in it.
Slipped my mind that beta's are bubble nest builders, so you don't want to screw up the surface tension and mess up the nest.
