Pretty tank + happy beta = happy me
I'm pretty pleased with this little fish bowl. I havent chosen a plant for it just yet but it feels very well designed. I'm a little concerned how thin the plastic is, I would have liked it to be a little thicker but I have a crystal clear view of my female beta and there are no cracks in the tank but I'm afraid it might crack in the process of cleaning it. I paid $25 bucks for it so hopefully it will last a reasonable amount of time. I would have loved it to be real Glass and would have been happy to pay for the quality however I'm not finding any options like that at the moment. I used LED Christmas lights below and a small one lbs bag of rose crystal stones and I couldn't be happier how the lighting has turned out. If I come a cross a plant I'd like to put in I'll remove the one in the bowl; but for now I think she enjoys swimming around it. I'll probably sit the plant and basket in a vase for awhile before adding it to the tank to be sure any chemical fertilizers or pesticides have leached and I see an esthetically pleasing root system for my beta to enjoy. With the flexibility of how the lid is designed I imagine all types of bog plants from bamboo to peace lily to pathos would do well.

Great little desk aquaponics unit.
I bought 4 of these for my room. Couldn't decide which fish I wanted so I got all of them. The tank is a nice little size, perfect for a single betta. I put a mini heater and I'll be getting a mini aerator to complete it. Fish seems happy, and my cat keeps him company. Pros: Great size for desk. Easy to put together. Easy to maintain. Sturdy. Could easily be used to grow small fruit/veg hydroponically. Of the 4 I bought, one came with defects on the base (seems to have been an imperfect mold pour) I saw in other reviews this may be a common problem. The material isn't as clear as some of the other acrylics, but for the price point still a good value. Also not enough clay stones for the top. I do hydroponics, so thankfully I had extra.

Good tank, happy fish!
I'm amazed by all the bad reviews on this tank! I've had it for almost a year and I love it and was looking into buying a second one. It seems the majority of reviewers are saying that it is too small, but come on people!!! These fish live in cold, sad, dirty little plastic containers at pet stores and supermarkets. Even the half gallon tank is the upgrade of all upgrades for these little betas. When I got mine he wasn't even able to swim around because the container was so small. But now he gets to swim and has many hiding spots in there. This is NOT unethical! Some reviews are totally laughable saying that their fish died in a day? Honey that wasn't because of the tank size, how could anyone even think that? Research your fish- there are many factors that I didn't even consider at first. Betas need a heater because they're tropical and read about the nitrogen cycle! It's very important to have certain bacteria set up in there BEFORE you put your fish in the tank. Also since the tank is small you will need to change the water at least every 1-2 weeks, otherwise your fish will be vulnerable to parasites and diseases. And as for the whole "the fish won't be able to breath" thing- the plant will help filter and circulate air!! I think it even says that in the description. I also have some marimo moss balls in my tank to help with that as well. All in all great fish tank.

Pretty aquaponic setup
I needed an extra small tank to raise scuds and snails as food for my puffer fish. I planted a peace lily in the top, filled with a layer of rocks in bottom, and added a sponge filter. I also grow hornwort in the water column which I think is pretty and helps keep nitrates down. This is too small for fish but has served me well for scuds and snails (which are surprisingly entertaining). Please get a larger tank for bettas, at least 5 gallons.

Rest in peace
First betta jumped out and died; second one was literally cooked when something in this thing short-circuited. Now we only keep plants in it.

This kit is wonderful. I have the larger tank. It needs a plant and some fish, along with a weekly water change and some fish food. As a pet-keeping set-up it is delightfully simple. I do have a warning however: the plant must have its roots in the tank water, and preparing the plant for that job is fiddley because there is a narrow grid to pull the roots through. It is also easy while you are changing the water to lift the plant roots out of the grid by mistake and damage its roots. I think the plant holder needs re-designing. There should be a way to fix the plant in place.

Beautiful aquarium. My betta has been living in it for 4 months already. I do a 100% water change every week/2 week. Be careful to keep the tank in a warm room away from windows. There is not way the water is gonna be hot enough near a window. Bettas are tropical fish that require water of at least 70-75 Feed the fish as the betta won't eat the plant roots. The roots of the house plant grew so much. Be careful to remove all the dirt from the houseplant before plating it. i did not do it and i end up with dirt at the bottom of the tank

Really great option for aquaponics with a betta fish. With my setup, I decided to propogate Thai basil, which is a cool way to grow a plant if you don't want to buy one raised in a pot. The actual tank is quite aesthetically pleasing as compared with other options out there and just fits a fish of this size. Don't go for the smaller option, it's simply too tiny! I also wouldn't keep anything other than a betta in these conditions too because they're one of the only types with a labyrinth organ. The plant needed a bit of light so I added a moss covered coconut shell for my fish to hide in. (And before I get any critiques, I live in the tropics so my setup does not require a heater!) Only thing I'd note is it was affordable when I bought it but the price seems to have increased a lot since.

Loved this for my pet fish and plant! It made a great centrepiece.
