Great for kids room!I love this tank so far and so does my son's batta. I can tell he's happier in the bigger tank with water that moves and is filtered. The fish is more active and has brighter color.I read a lot of reviews about their fish getting pulled into the filter so i placed a plant so the intake is in the middle of the plant, just in case.The tank was easy to set up. Its nearly silent and seems to be working great!Overall, im happy with it, especially for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars A humane Betta home!
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2018
I adore this tank. It’s very affordable, and I’m elated to see a betta tank that is a humane size AND has a filter and accommodates a heater, but it’s still stylish like many lesser nano tanks, and a perfect smaller footprint so you don’t need a huge area to put it. The filter is very quiet, and I love that it’s inset beneath the lid instead of back hanging or under gravel. The LEDs are super bright and work perfectly. My java fern seem to be doing well under the light. My betta loves resting in the crowds of leaves. When I first started the filter I thought it would be too strong for a betta, but I realized it was just ejecting the water out the top while it primed. Once it was operating properly the flow comes out in a lower slit under the filter media, which has a nice gentle current. I never see my betta struggling against it, but it does gently stir the plants. For the price this is the perfect betta tank for a conscientious owner.

Si tienes algún pez afuera de solo un beta necesitas comprar algo para dar aire y El función del filtro es muy mínimo. Tienes limpiar todo el tanque cada 4 meses.
