[Bizzaro]

I have a 29L tank which is planted and want to get rid of the HOB's ( is hob the right saying for the filter that hang on back?) So what type of smaller filter can i use? that not HOB

What are you trying to achieve?

 

[Bizzaro]

just no more HOB filters... something small and can keep up with the fish.... doesnt have to be that good cuz their are some plants inside the tank.

Well, a small internal or sponge filter would do the trick.
not sure how the sponge would agree with the plants though.

Why are you ditching the HOB's?

get a Rapids mini canister if you Must get rid of the HOB filters. its perfectly suited to that size aquarium

Get a small Eheim classic style canister. They are silent, extremely efficient, and pretty cost effective.

Sponge filter. My number 1 choice for small tanks.

You can't beat the biofiltration, but I like some mech too. I use both.

A DIY canister may be the way to go. Why you ditching the HOB's?
