Too small for a fish
By Galex on Apr 18, 2021
For people who are new to fish keeping please do NOT buy this take for your fish that you choose to put in there will not be happy and you should do the research on how to take care of that specific species before buying it for no reason because even though fish keeping may be an expensive hobby it can pay off and have way more enjoyment with the hobby if you buy a bigger tank I would reccoment at least a five-gallon for a betta and more for anything else since you will have a lot more fun with the hobby.

good start
By Assile on Apr 19, 2021
I am currently using this for a tiny betta who looked like he was about to die. It’s currently okay but I plan to upgrade his housing once I know he’s okay. The filter is insanely powerful, so I’m afraid to use it cause it looks like he’s struggling to swim. I recommend only for small bettas until you can upgrade or as a last resort.

betta tank
By kimgp on Mar 17, 2021
I removed the included light and used the opening to put an aquaponic plant in. My fist enjoyed the plant roots and both plant and fish are doing well. I rinse the cartridge every week or so when I do water changes to prolong the cartridge life.

Filter stopped within two weeks
By Betta on Feb 28, 2021
My filter stopped working randomly. I don’t believe it was user error, I’ve had different sized tanks and know how to take care of a tank filter and assess motor issues. I didn’t run it dry, and it wasn’t clogged. Also, the lid (the overall lid that covers the entire top of the tank) was warped in-package, and will not sit correctly on the tank.

To small for a fish
By LFangs on Apr 15, 2021
Betta should not be kept in something this small yes they can survive but a human can survive in a cell Nether are thriving

Highly Recommend
By Catlin on Feb 16, 2021
It is quite big for small fish. The filter is quiet and the light is very easy to turn on and off (has a button on top). It’s a lot better than a bowl for sure. Super easy to assemble.

Great aquarium for bettas
By Thomas on Feb 20, 2021
Great fish tank for my betta, highly recommend. For a hospital tank, something to hold fry in, or a betta tank. Well worth the money. Waiting to buy another one

Perfect Fry/ Hospital Tank
By Steph on Nov 29, 2020
While too small for a typical aquarium, this is perfect for raising some fry. Also great for hospital tank for 1 fish if space is an issue in your home. The filter is almost silent on this thing! My only complaints are the lid doesn't always want to go on flush, and there needs to be a button or something for the light instead of unplugging it. Other than that, great value and perfect for my needs!

A++++ recommend
By Gful on Dec 18, 2020
I purchased the tank and am it is the perfect size. I love the edgelit, which makes for a cozy touch to any room, especially since you can choose the color as well as the degree of color. Highly recommend. A+ all around. My fish are certainly enjoying this tank.
