Love this tank!
I bought this for my son's Betta and then saw a million reviews that said this tank was horrible for a Betta. I was really worried about the waterfall being too much for him. I found a solution for that though and I'll share it!
Anyway..
Pros:
- Very easy to clean. I didn't want a tank that I couldn't clean by myself. This one is the perfect size for our fish.
- Waterfall filtration works well so the tank stays clean longer.
- This tank is attractive. I made a little spot for it in the kitchen and it looks awesome.
- Waterfall is very quiet.
Cons:
- Glass seems a bit thin and that worries me because I tend to be a bit clumsy..
- I would like to be able to turn off the waterfall without unplugging the unit. Instead, I unplug it during feeding time and then plug it back in when the fish is done eating. The waterfall pulls the food to the bottom of the tank if I don't.
Overall, great tank. Too much current for a Betta for sure but I bought a Betta log (from Amazon also) and it floats right under the waterfall and keeps the water movement minimal. He can rest anywhere in tank and play around in the waterfall when he feels like it. He actually really loves the Betta log as well..
