    Default Betta chomped the activated charcoal

    I had a leak of activated carbon from my filter today.
    Before i could clean it all up my betta chomped one of them.
    What now?
    What will the consequences be...?

    You might want to take all the carbon out anyway unless you've already done that - carbon generally isn't needed in a filter unless you are trying to remove meds from the tank.

    Thanks for the replies, yea i'v removed all the charcoal, the betta looks okay back to it's normal routine.

    Think i'll change the filter element to non charcoal from now on.

    Thanks people!
    :)
