XINYOU XY-2011 Corner Filter

The XINYOU XY-2011 Corner Filter is a compact and efficient internal filter designed to fit neatly in the corner of aquariums. It provides both mechanical and biological filtration, while also serving as a gentle aerator when connected to an air pump. Its simple design, quiet performance, and shrimp/fry-safe intake make it a popular choice for small to medium aquariums.

Air-driven function – Works with an air pump to provide filtration and aeration at the same time.
Safe for shrimp & fry – Gentle filtration prevents small fish or invertebrates from being sucked in.
Easy to maintain – Sponges and media can be rinsed and reused multiple times.
Silent operation – Low noise, making it ideal for bedrooms, offices, and study setups.
