Matten filter user in Europe here! I pronounce the T, because the original Germans (who invented the things) definitely pronounce the T. They work great and are ideal for labyrinth fish like Bettas and gouramis. And maintenance is...pretty much non-existent! You just leave it alone until it's completely blocked, which can literally take years to happen, then rinse in old tank water. I recommend them to everyone who loves Bettas!

Regular sponges are definitely easier as far as maintenance goes, but I think there is a lot of potential with the matten. Central air is the next upgrade to the fish room, so I'm hoping that really puts it over the top.

It's a sound called a "tap" because t and d are articulated in the same place in your mouth, except d is voiced (hold your hand to your throat and go d-d-d) and t is voiceless (now go t-t-t)! A tap is the sound between the two! People who don't speak American English have a lot of trouble producing it. :) Signed, a crazy linguist fish lady

In Germany those are pretty common in fishbreeding. You can even buy whole tanks already fitted with them. Most of the time you can leave them alone for years without cleaning and they are by far more efficient than smaller sponge filters, because you have far more space for beneficial bacteria. I used to hide them with Monte Carlo or mosses. Just shove them in there or, if you have a finer pad, use a planting mesh.

If I kept my tanks short side out I would use them but I always have my tank long side facing outwards and don't want the eyesore. I did want to try a corner matten filter on the two back corners of my 75 gallon but changed my mind when I realized I would have to use the tank as a room divider behind the sofa. If the next 4 foot tank I set up is against a wall I would like to do two back corner matten filters (Swiss Tropicals sells the corner filters I don't know if anyone else does) with a large Seachem tidal 110 in the center. I think a black matten corner filters would blend much better into a solid black background then a traditional free standing black sponge filter.

I used it before. It is very easy to clean as most of the gunk settles on the bottom in the section with the tubes & heater. The only con is that some shrimp & babies do get behind there somehow and when u go to clean, they may end up going down the drain.
You also could hide filter materials in that small compartment behind the filter mat, fx those ceramic tubes which provide more surface for the bacteria. Mattenfilter actually is a German word, so you‘d pronounce it with double T, like you prefer it. I am curious to see if you like it, once you have used it for a while.

The a is pronounced much the a in far the double.T is pronounced as a single one it is just there to indicate that we are talking about the plural of mat wich means yes mat.

Nice explanation :P You spent more time talking about the pronunciation than the filter itself. "The term 'filter' for a Mattenfilter is actually misleading. The purpose of the foam is not to filter the water as is often assumed. The foam serves as the habitat for a vast array of microorganisms that include bacteria, archaea, worms, ciliates, flagellates, and many others." - swisstropicals.com In other words, it's similar to a deep substrate undergravel filter without the gravel. These things are not meant to be cleaned (hence, not filters pre se), they are meant to supply DOC from the water column and waste to a community of organisms including algaes, which the shrimp feed on. Even though the animal waste won't fall directly on it like with a gravel filter on account of it being vertical, it will likely suck in much of the shrimp waste as they crawl along it and poop on it. Long story short, why not just have an undergravel filter? Not sure really, I'll have to do more research I guess.

I was looking at these filters, but I think I prefer the smaller sponge filters. Not sure, maybe I'll try this some day. I'm not entirely a fan of all the equipment needed to run it though. I've tried ghost shrimp because I want the more expensive orange pumpkin shrimp as tank mates for my betta, but I can't seem to keep them alive so I guess I'm not getting any.

Hello Simply Betta, thank you for the video. Maybe this video will help you with pronunciation of "matten" : fr.youglish.com/pronounce/matten/german Matten is in the first sentence : Es sind schon Leute vor grünen Matten verhungert.

I assume you can't use substrate with this. Cleaning that thing can't be fun.

It would probably be a pain for substrate tanks, but not impossible! It would just have to go in before adding substrate. According to the comments you rarely need to clean it which is nice!
