Review on AquaTop Pisces Cube Style 5 Gallon Aquarium: A Perfect Blend of Elegance and Functionality by Ibraheem Burna

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Too much flow for bettas.

Overall this is a decent tank and the right size for a Betta. However, there are two things that are not optimal for bettas: the flow rate of the filter and the light. The flow rate out of the filter is insanely high, which pretty much terrorized our Betta; after all, he spent most of his young life in a mug at a pet shop, and his fins aren't very strong for currents and were never meant for fast water. Watching our betta being swept around the tank by the current wasn't a very happy sight. I bought a charcoal filter intended for another tank, cut it off and put a rubber band to distribute the water flow and it seems to suit the fish better without causing any problems with the filtration system. on white background, and also too much for Betta; our fish hides when the light is on. The blue light appears less intense and the fish feel more comfortable while swimming. We leave the blue light on most of the day and early evening, turn it to white when we want to see it better, and turn the light off at night to let it rest. happen. It's just a thin piece of glass just begging to slip out of wet hands when changing water. Overall, this is an attractive aquarium with a minimalistic appeal, and well suited to start small. Doesn't take up much space and is easy to clean.
