Highly recommended for shrimp tanks to keep baby shrimp from getting sucked into the filter and for fish breeders with tiny fish so they do not also get sucked into the filter. These intake covers can also be used to slow the water flow down if you have too much water flow in your tank.
Make sure this intake cover will fit your filter. It can stretch and be pulled over larger filter intakes but if your intake is massive you’ll end up ripping or destroying the sponge.

Great product for my shrimp tank. The cover keeps the shrimp safe from being sucked into the filter. It fits well and the water flow is much slower now. Easy to install and lasts a few weeks without breaking.

Works perfectly for my tiny fish. The hole size is just right so they can still get water flow. I didn’t have any issues with it falling off or tearing after a week of use.

I bought this for my breeding tank. The small fish didn’t get sucked in and the flow is much gentler. It fits my filter well and is easy to pull over the intake.
Sam Hemmings –
It fits my filter, but the hole is a bit small. I had to adjust it slightly. Works okay, but not ideal for very active shrimp.
