Tetra Water Wonders Black Aquarium Kit, 1.5-gal

I have a 3 year old goldfish, yes 3! And he/she came from the state fair! Well he is a big guy now and the gallon tank I had was not enough space. He now has much more room with the extra .5 gallon and the filter is super quiet which is really nice. Only downside to it is that the filter needs to be changed every time the tank is changed so that will be a little bit of a pain from the last tank. Over all a good purchase!

This is the second one I bought. It is so quiet and filters the water well. It is crystal clear and the light is very nice. The filter will clog and has to be taken apart to clean every month or so. This is inconvenient because everything is connected together. Finally, it gave out totally after about 18 months, which isn't too bad for the price. I bought a different filter that would have worked EXCEPT that the broken filter is connected to the light and the whole set up. So now I have no light...sigh. I wish they sold replacement filters for this unit. Otherwise this was great!

This tank is cute and the perfect size for a betta fish, but the filtration system is sluggish and in my tank had to be readjusted to work. After only 6 months it has failed completely and since it’s wired with the light, I now need a new tank. I wouldn’t waste my money on this one.

I got this great little aquarium NEXT DAY from Chewy! :) It is a perfect size for the corner of my kitchen counter, and I concealed the pump and cords above, in the cabinet. I love fish, but I have not had success with them. I bought some little plastic fish that I tied fishing line to and weighted the line with a metal washer so they float and bob in the water. I bought a circular light bubbler because I love the changing colors and the bubbles! The gentle waterfall effect of the filter that comes with the aquarium and attaches to the overhead light is running as well. This provides light in my kitchen at night and the colors and water are soothing to watch and listen to. I also have a similar I got this great little aquarium NEXT DAY from Chewy! :) It is a perfect size for the corner of my kitchen counter, and I concealed the pump and cords above, in the cabinet.

I was real lucky to get this on a 50% off sale day, but, I would have bought anyway at the full price. The clear viewing box measures 7 1/2 inches square, all around, then there is a black square pedestal beneath and the clear cover on top. It holds about 1 1/2 gallons of water. Thanks Chewy! I LOVE IT! … more

I really like this tank but 1 month in and there's a fracture at the top of the tank that is now starting to work it's way down towards the bottom. I didn't keep the box so don't think it's returnable now.

Hi all! I'm an experienced fish keeper of over 10 years! I just recently decided to rate this small little tank! Well, first of all, The dimensions of this tank make a complete 7.5 inch cube (or a 19.05 cm cube!), and depending on how high you fill it, will be up to 1.85 gallons. If filled to the top, this will weigh approximately 18 lbs in total :) Well, most importantly, you should know that this isn't always recommended for beginners, however, if you are responsible, motivated, and willing to do water changes up to two times a week, then this could definitely be the tank for you!! ^U^ Pros: Not only is this filter very quiet, but it works very well!! The water stays crystal clear Hi all! I'm an experienced fish keeper of over 10 years! I just recently decided to rate this small little tank!

The water stays crystal clear (with the occasional piece of stuff of the floor, but that can easily be cleaned up, no problem!! ^U^). And do you want to know what's funny? I don't even use activated carbon in this tank!! It tends to remove essential minerals in the water, and I definitely prefer to keep the water healthy! If you want to know, I personally use mesh material from an old net that broke, which removed large particles, and fine sponge, which removes small particles (the Amano Shrimp also likes sneaking into the filter when she gets the chance! :P) It is also small, so it not only provides more space for the lucky fishy, but also doesn't take away from the looks of this stunning cube! It is also very nice looking (in my opinion, of course)! The black base and light don't take away from the looks of the cube, and can even be easily removed for cleaning before setting up a tank or after taking one down (remember to never use detergents or soaps! They're toxic to fish!). The tank is also very lightweight, so if you're like me and have a medical condition, then you won't need to worry with potentially hurting yourself! That's definitely a plus!! ^U^ Now for cons: This tank doesn't have many cons! If I must admit, I thought this tank would be full of cons! Bad quality, materials easily scratched, terrible filter and lighting...but boy, was I completely wrong! Only con I can think of is that the light is very dim. However, I have it on a shelf where my little girl can get some sunshine, so it's actually better for the tank (too much light can cause green algae, whereas too little can cause brown algae). Other than this, I truly can't think of any cons! ^U^ Now for the livestock: This tank is an absolutely wonderful nano aquarium, but only if you stock it right! Most fish are either too big or too active for this small tank! So I compiled a list of animals that will work just right! ^_^ 1 female or up to 2 male Fancy Guppies (good for beginners) Up to 3 Mosquito fish (also known as "wild" Guppies, or "feeder" Guppies, good for beginners) Up to 2 Fathead Minnows (also known as "Rosy Red" Minnows or "feeder" Minnows, good for beginners) Up to 2 small Zebra Danios (good for beginners) Up to 2 African Dwarf Frogs (good for beginners) Up to 10 Dwarf Neocaridina Shrimp (good for beginners) Up to 2 Amano Shrimp (good for beginners) Up to 2 Thai Micro Crabs (only well established aquariums, NOT good for *most* beginners) Up to 2 Vampire Crabs (only well established paludariums, not good for *most* beginners) Up to 2 Killifish (intermediate) Up to 5 White Cloud Mountain Minnows 1 Nerite Snail As a breeding tank for feeder Snails (Bladder, Ramshorn, Malaysian Trumpet, etc) or live foods (Daphnia, Vinegar Eels, etc) Up to 5 nano fish (Chili Rasboras, Ember Tetras, Kubotai Rasboras, Japanese Rice Fish, Pygmy Corydoras, Clown Killifish, and much more! Though most of these are for intermediates or experts, not most beginners) It's also good as a temporary tank for a Betta fry (aka "baby Betta, as they call them at Petco), although it may only last you a few months at the most! (These are NOT good for most beginners! Remember, Bettas get BIG, about 3" for "normal" Bettas and up to 5" for Giants, they are very active, meaning they need space to move, they can be quite sensitive, meaning a larger tank will stay healthier for longer, they are very intelligent, meaning they need more stimulation then, say, a Neon Tetra, and they just deserve better than they often receive. So remember, for an adult Betta, 5-10 gallons MINIMUM. Overall, I do not agree that Bettas are good for beginners, so stay away!) Hopefully this helps people on their journey of becoming an aquarist! Fish are super fun and enjoying to watch and interact with, and if I could, I'd recommend everyone to get a 29 gallon aquarium or larger!!! ^U^ Thank you! … more

I have had two of these for over 6 months now! The fact that this has a filter that is suppose to be moving at 20 GPH makes this a great tank. The LED lights have faded over time, so I use a desktop lamp to help my plants to grow. I have cute decorations, with antique marbles. I even press the envelope a little with one small Cory per tank. Great little tank!

Super cute little tank. Perfect size for a desk or nightstand.

My tank came cracked and I decided to just fill the crack myself and not worry about it. Then my filter was plugged in and DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.

My betta loves this tank! Its easy to clean and care for. Quiet and attractive with a great led light.
