Xinyou XY-380 Sponge Filter

The Xinyou XY-380 Sponge Filter is a simple, efficient, and budget-friendly filter designed for small to medium aquariums. Using air-driven filtration, it provides both mechanical and biological filtration while producing gentle water flow—perfect for shrimp, fry, and delicate fish.

🌊 Key Features

✅ Air-driven design – Works with an air pump to create suction through the sponge, filtering debris and providing oxygenation.

✅ Dual sponge system – Two sponges give more surface area for beneficial bacteria, improving biological filtration.

✅ Gentle water flow – Safe for baby fish, shrimp, and species that dislike strong currents.

✅ Simple & low-cost – No motor, low maintenance, and extremely durable.

✅ Oxygen booster – Produces bubbles that aerate the aquarium naturally.

✅ Long-lasting – High-quality sponges that can be reused multiple times.

🐠 Suitable For

  • Tank Size: 40–150 litres (best for 1.5–3 ft aquariums).

  • Fish Types: Guppies, Bettas, Tetras, Shrimp, Snails, Fry (baby fish), Dwarf Cichlids, and other small community fish.

⚠️ Not suitable as the only filter for very large or messy fish like Goldfish, Oscars, or Plecos. (Can be used as a secondary filter.)

🔧 How to Install

  2. Connect airline tubing from an air pump to the filter’s air inlet.

  3. Place the sponge filter fully inside the water.
