Can anybody who bought this tank upload photos how it looks like with 3 bettas inside? Isn't it too small?

I have not purchased this item and will never do so. One being that it is not worth it for what it is... Second that is is stressful on the fish being that they can see each other. Third, this is much too small to comfortably house three bettas. A single betta for this volume of water would be best. This is not to say that you can't house 3 bettas in such a small tank, but that it would be best to provide 2 1/2 gallons or 5 gallons minimum per fish. Maintenance may also be a problem. A single betta in a 5 gallon tank that has been cycled, has a heater, and is filtered would be best. Or you can divide a 5 gallon in two with a divider that prevents either betta from seeing each other or getting past. If you want companions for your betta, do some research online.

I bought one of these from InvertObsession. This little guy is really cool looking. I also have a Betta and Dwarf African Frog. They are all in a 5 gallon aquarium. I have never seen this Orange CPO mess with my frog... they sometimes sit side by side at the bottom of the tank. After two months, I looked over and found my Betta swimming around madly in the tank and this guy was taking a ride on one of my Bettas fins! His little claw was clamped on. It was kind of funny looking. Obviously my Betta did not like it. It only happened once and has not been a problem since then. I think this crayfish is fine with my Betta since the Orange CPO Dwarf Mexican Crayfish and frog hang out mostly at the bottom of my tank and the Betta hangs out mostly near the middle/top. I would NOT try this in any smaller aquarium or bowl though. I think they get along well enough to leave them together (for me). My Betta has never gone after the crayfish. Hope this helps.

Hi. In all honesty i don't know what heaters to use precisely, because the fish that i get don't really need the hearter. I avoid getting high maintenance fish for this tank. I figure its small and simple. So if i was you, i wouldn't get expensive fish. The fish i have is 1 albino pleco, 5neon barbs, 5zebras skinny fish.Thats it. &the; tank looks great. They alive since jan 2014.

I have only had my tank set up for a little over a month. It has one betta in it. Yesterday the filter died. Can't get it going again. I had to go out and buy a new filter to keep my fish happy. Now I have to find a light that will fit on the tank so I can get rid of that huge useless cube out of the middle.

It is one undivided tank. Also, side note, it is smaller than the recommended minimum tank size for a Betta of 2.5 gallons.

I believe it would look fine in a ten gallon tank. I have mine in a seven gallon tank. Initially I installed it along the back wall in a straight line, basically to observe it for a few days. The LEDS can be quite bright if you look at them directly with nothing to defuse the light. I then moved it to the bottom of the back wall and placed artificial plants and 4" castles near and over the lights. My tank now looks magical at night. I placed the small castles directly over a LED light. The plants defuse the light and the bubbles are tiny sparkles floating up through the leaves. I had to drill small holes in the tops of the castles to allow the bubbles to escape. In the day time the castles have a barely noticeable blue glow and wonderful bluish smoke bubbles rising out of the chimney. At night the castles become magically inner lit with a blue glow and the bubbles from the chimney create an intriguing blue "smoke" stream reaching towards the sky. My fish, mollies, tetras, and fancy guppies, appear to like it also. I never noticed them going in and out of the castles before I lit them up. Now they travel in and out of the castles all the time.

I keep an African Dwarf Frog with my Betta. I really enjoy him. you could keep one or two small fish like terra. I would not personally put a goldfish in there. goldfish are very messy Fish and Aquarium even though it has a filter really isn't sufficient for that unless you want to do water changes a lot

Well, if you want a LOT of bubbles it will be perfect.. It has four outlets so you could easily have four aquariums going. I have a 60-gal tank and it is more than enough.. And super quiet.. I would suggest getting it.. You can upgrade your tanks and never need additional equipment.

I did not measure it when I first got it, but it is probably about 4 inches too tall for your average fish bowl with gravel in the bottom. It was very simple to alter, however, so I had no problems with it. I simply took my pocket knife, I suppose any knife with a "saw-like" edge would do, and shortened it. The plant is also easily removed if you have a betta that can be harmed by its rough texture. I am very pleased with the product myself, but remember to buy the right size air pump! It is very important to buy the smallest one available if all you are going to filter is a small fishbowl or tank.

I have a 37 gallons planted tank and it's working for me. I'm using all 3 light modules though. So you may want to consider doing the same thing.

Actually, I have two of these tanks and both are occupied by bettas. My guys seemed a little daunted for the first couple of hours but have been fine with the flow for months now.

I didn't realize it was a blue light only, I thought it was a regular white light and blue light tank. I only have my betta in the bowl. You would have to ask an aquarium shop if the breeed of glo fish is a jumper or not. That is my best advice.

I have one fixture on a 75 gallon tank and it is more than enough, but my tank isn't as deep as a 90 gallon would be - the water depth is probably something to consider too. I have LPS, SPS and soft corals and they are all doing well (too well in some cases). If you are only going to have fish and/or soft corals then I am sure you have plenty of light. If you have a lot of SPS all over the tank you MIGHT consider a second, but only if you have species that need a large amount of light. If I had to chose, I would buy one, then see what it looks like.

I have not had that problem, but I have just one betta in it. Try the Tetra website - they answer quickly and thoroughly.

Yeah it is still working great, I am pretty satisfied with it. It lights up my 40 gallon aquarium great by itself. The mode button changes to some night modes with blue LEDs, also there is a couple storm modes that make the tank look like a lightning storm, kinda cool but I don't really use it. I usually just click the mode button before I go to bed and it puts it in a faint blue setting. Overall its a great fixture.

Thanks! I just set it up last night. It is big, but fits on my counter ok after some rearranging--and the benefit of having 2 big tanks outweighs the inconvenience of having to move my stuff around. Hopefully it does the job...
