paired end quality filtering

I know it has been asked earlier but not able to find clear solution. I need to filter paired fastq files and align using bowtie2. Is there any tools that I am missing to filter fastq files and keep only paired-end in two different files. And, remaining single reads in another file?

Thanks

I recommend sickle.

What do you mean by "filter"? Quality trimming? Adapter removal? Contaminant filtering? All of them?

BBDuk and SeqyClean will do all, and will keep proper pairs and a file with singles.

yes quality trimming
