Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this as a demonstration of aquaponics for my homeschoolers. We have the 1.4 gallon aquarium. In the aquarium we have one handsome beta (his name is Bon Jovi), about 2 inches of gravel, 4 marimo moss balls, and a betta hammock. Planted in the aquarium is a Peace Lily plant. We have had this setup for a little bit now and have nothing but positive things to say. The aquarium stays very clean with weekly water changes of about 25%. Nothing is added to it-no chemicals, supplements, medications, etc. Just clean water from the tap. Our Bon Jovi has plenty of space and is very active and healthy. My kiddos often comment that they believe he is smiling. The Peace Lily is doing well also. We are seeing new tap roots and new leaves slowly emerging. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this! JUNE 25, 2019 UPDATE: We have now had this tank for 18 months. I’m happy to report that we also have the original beta. Bon Jovi is happy and healthy and doing quite well. We did add a small heater last winter. We live in Michigan and it gets pretty dang chilly here! We continue to maintain the tank with simple, weekly water changes with nothing else added (water conditioners, chemicals, medications, etc.) The white gravel started looking pretty dirty and dingy, so I changed that to river rocks a few months ago. The Peace Lily has grown so much that it’s been divided twice and the new plants are elsewhere in our home. The roots on the portion of the plant that remains in the aquarium need to be trimmed regularly to make sure Bon Jovi doesn’t get tangled up in them. Still love this aquarium and still highly recommend!
