And the intake for a 40 isnt much larger that the 10. So my guess is that it should fit about right without the rubber bands. But if not just take 2 hair rubber bands and put then in the sponge and it holds it on tight. **Q: Is this a carbon filter?** A: This is not a carbon filter. This is a pre-filter sponge that goes over the inlet tube for HOB (hang on back) filter systems to prevent baby fish/shrimp from getting sucked up the tube and into the filter. **Q: What is the ppi (porosity)?** A: I couldnt tell you how big the holes are in the sponges. But I can tell you that I use this spongs in a tank with Shrimp. I currently plenty if baby shrimp and I dont seem to have issues with the babies being pulled through the sponge and into the filter as I have a lot of them. So it is small enough holes to prevent small shrimp from going through it. But it does allow good flow as my filter flow is steady and doesnt seem to be slowed by it. ## Frequently Bought Together - AQUANEAT 6-Pack Pre-Filter Sponge for Aquarium Shrimp Fry Fish Tank Filter 0.8” Intake, Replacement Foam Cover - 4Pcs Aquascaping Tools, Jeimier Aquascape Kit, Long and Strong Aquarium Tweezers, Scissors, Algae Scraper, Aquarium Plant Tools, Fish Tank Plant Trimming Kit - Fluval 12694 Plant and Shrimp Stratum for Freshwater Fish Tanks, 8.8 lbs. – Aquarium Substrate for Strong Plant Growth, Supports Neutral to Slightly Acidic pH --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/494348186-6-pack-pre-filter-sponge-for-aquarium-shrimp-fry-fish](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/494348186-6-pack-pre-filter-sponge-for-aquarium-shrimp-fry-fish) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
