Our Betta died in this tank

I just moved our Betta to this tank because I had problems with his main habitat. After a few hours we noticed that the fish was swimming/resting chaotically and strangely - on its side, upside down etc. I found pieces of fish in the filter. Apparently he was attracted to the filter and died from his injuries. No betta aquarium should have a filter that can injure/kill a betta.

Pros
  • GOLS Certificate
Cons
  • Appearance

Great fish tank and fish tank aquarium

Ideal aquarium for one or more fish such as neon tetras. I particularly like that the hole in the feed trough no longer has a flap since feed was collected in our last tank that the children did not put in properly. The filter sits comfortably on the side and makes a slight whirring noise that you only hear when you are standing directly in front of the tank. There is a hole on the back for a heater if needed. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Wrinkled packaging

Perfect fit for my Betta

I actually just returned the panorama aquarium for it and I'm so happy. The LED lights are very bright and make the aquarium look clear. In addition, the upper does not sit directly above the water and there is room for cords in the back. In another aquarium, the bulbs changed color, but surprisingly they looked very weak. Yes, the filter is probably not very strong, but this is perfect for my bettas because they don't like strong currents. This is a nice little aquarium for him to swim happily

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Hard to say

Great kit for beginner aquarists

Last year my six year old asked for fish for Christmas. It was the perfect aquarium for our first introduction to a home aquarium. It worked very well. You will need a heater if you want tropical fish, but otherwise the set is complete. Some people complain that the filter is too strong, but our fireflies don't seem to care. Changing the filter is easy. And cleaning isn't too tiring, although there are a few areas along the top edge that can be tricky. It was so successful we have just ordered…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Low maintenance

Graceful and quiet. best in starter kits

I like this tank as does my dear Casper. It has so much room to move. The filter is VERY quiet and the flow is not too strong. One thing I did was put a Fluval Edge pre-filter sponge on the intake pipe to keep its fins from being sucked in. I definitely recommend this product and will definitely be buying another one for my other betta! :) Update: I ordered another one for my other betta. It's as quiet as the first one I ordered and there weren't any scratches or anything on the tank itself. I…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Null

Acceptable with one serious caveat

The tank and filter will do, but a fully open filter with no sponge only requires dead fish of all sizes. This is a serious oversight by Aqueon. Lighting is acceptable but nothing special. The plastic case was riddled with scratches and they only got worse over time. In addition, it causes a lot of visual distortions when you have to look at the tank from a certain angle to get a realistic look. The tank is cheap and you absolutely get what you pay for. But if you do buy one, at least take some

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I have no bad feelings about this, everything is fine

Human Home of Betta!

I love this tank. It's very affordable and I'm happy to see a Betta aquarium that's human sized AND has a filter and accommodates a heater, but it's still stylish like many smaller nano aquariums and has a perfectly smaller footprint so Don't need a large area Put it down. The filter is very quiet and I like that it's built in under the cap rather than hanging in the back or under the gravel. The LEDs are very bright and work great. My java fern seems to do well in the light. My Betta likes to…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Modern

Amazing aquarium, love my betta and friends.

Great aquarium, my betta and his friends love it. Very quiet filter (sometimes it makes an annoying buzz but usually I add more water to the tank and it goes away), perfect size to fit on my small bookshelf (would also look great on a vanity/table). ). I will say that the presence of a goldfish in the picture is very wrong, goldfish need a much larger aquarium, they will not live happily in this aquarium, which is only suitable for betta fish. I have 1 male rooster, 2 cherry shrimp and a…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Made the old man Betta very happy, now he has a spring kick

2 weeks in: Great pool. Eventually my rooster, Old Man Bukke, got a new house to move into from his pan and he was very excited, when he walked in he immediately perked up. What impressed me the most was his silence, you can only hear it if you listen to him consciously. Size 2.5 is very good, big enough to make Buckuke very happy and move freely and small enough to sit perfectly in the corner of our living room. It also has plenty of room for a heater (I bought a 'Tetra HT aquarium immersion…

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
