There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.

I ORDERED THE WHITE AND IT IS A CRISP WHITE, NOT DINGY.
YES, IT IS THIN PLASTIC, BUT IT IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND SERVES THE PURPOSE.
FOR UNDER 30.00 ITS PERFECT FOR MY BETTA BOY, SKIPPER!
HE HAS A LIGHT, PLENTY OF ROOM TO SWIM AND HES PERFECTLY CONTENT AND HAPPY ALMOST 3 WEEKS AFTER HE MOVED IN!
THE FILTER IS NOT THE BEST, BUT IT IS TOTALLY QUIET.
IF YOU DONT OVERFEED AND DIRTY UP THE TANK, THE FILTER IS SUFFICIENT. (I WAS TOLD THE FOOD SHOULD BE THE SIZE OF THE BETTAS EYE. ALSO, AFTER 5 MINUTES OF FEEDING TIME, TAKE A FISH NET AND SKIM THE EXCESS FOOD OUT OF THE WATER)
THE TANK ALSO CAME WITH A PACKAGE OF WATER CONDITIONER WHICH I DID NOT USE BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO INTRODUCE ANY FOREIGN SUBSTANCE THAT MIGHT TRAUMATIZE SKIPPER. I FILLED THE TANK 2/3 FULL AND LET IT FILTER FOR 2 DAY BEFORE ADDING HIM AND HIS ORIGINAL FISH BOWL WATER.
HE HAS BEEN HAPPY AND HEALTHY FROM THE FIRST MOMENT!
(3 DAYS AFTER THE MOVE, HE BUILT A FINE BUBBLE NEST TO SHOW ME HE WAS COMFORTABLE!)
I DONT EXPECT THE LIGHT TO LAST FOREVER. IT IS SLIGHTLY FLIMSY PLASTIC, BUT I LIKE THE FEEDING HOLE AT THE TOP. I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT SKIPPER CANT JUMP OUT OF IT SO I CAN KEEP IT FULLY FILLED.
THE LIGHT IS BRIGHT AND BALANCED. NOT TOO GARRISH, BUT NICE, CRISP AND EVEN FOR THE SIZE OF THE TANK. I DONT THINK THE BULBS ARE REPLACEABLE THO... BUT I ONLY TURN IT ON FOR A FEW HOURS AT NIGHT.
(BETTAS BECOME AGGITATED IF THE LIGHT IS ON FOR TOO LONG. LIKE PEOPLE, THEY HAVE A BEDTIME SCHEDULE, SO LIGHTS OUT AT NI-NITE TIME)
ALSO, BETTAS NEED STILL WATER. THANKFULLY, THIS FILTER DOES NOT HAVE A LOT OF SUCTION...SO I HAVENT FOUND SKIPPER SUCKED TO IT.
OVERALL, IM HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE AND WOULD RE-PURCHASE AGAIN.
We haven't had difficulty with scratching at all.
The pump starting make a disconcerting, high pitched, squealing/gurgling noise of death about a month ago. I have searched unsuccessfully for a replacement, so I finally called customer service. A real, live person answered the phone immediately (I thought I must've misdialed) and transferred me to their tech department where another real, live person answered the phone. She was very knowledgeable and personable.
She recommended that the water level has to stay up above the little pipe inlet thingy (she knew the technical term, I can't recall it) so it covers the motor. Look at the picture in the listing, find the top fish. Draw a line in your mind from the bottom of his butt over to the left. That's where the water level has to be to function.
She also recommended that one replaces the filter every 4 to 6 weeks and stated that if the water is flowing mostly over and not through the filter to change it. If it's a new filter and it's doing the same, squish it around between your hands to break it up a bit (the fibers are too tight sometimes on new filters).
It's a relatively inexpensive little tank that has served us well. And their customer service was just fantastic!
1) this thing loses a TON of water - each week well over 1.5 inches of water seems to majestically evaporate off this tank. This seems pretty excessive to me in comparison to past experiences and friends' experiences.
2) the tank is plastic, and it scratches...EASILY! it is only a matter of time before it starts to look just horrible! the front of ours is already really scratched up and we haven't had it in use that long - it was a Christmas gift for our daughter...I would guess within 6 months it is going to look horrible.
3) the lid has a small feeding hole, but if you need to do anything you have to fully remove the lid. This is a pain in comparison to the models where you can flip it up. It is a pain to have to find a place to put the lid. Not a great design...I should have paid attention to this.
Ultimately this tank is not all that big, which is nice. We got it for a betta, and we have a heater in it as well. We didn't know what we didn't know about this one, and chose it because the reviews on it were ok, and the price was ok...In the end my advice would be to save your money and get a nicer, glass 5 gallon tank or something like it. Don't bother with this one...you will end up needing to repurchase another tank sooner than you would like!
