I like it 👌

I just bought this tank but so far I like it a lot. I actually returned a different brand 5 gallon tank cuz the filter was horrible, this one works waaay better! The glass is nice not a ton of messy adhesive I've seen on others. The light is good but i wish the lid was a litter better constructed, but the overall package is pretty solid. Comfortably have a few guppies and a cory.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Too small for anything but a Betta

Disheartened shopper

2 years ago
If I could rate it less then 1 I would. Bought this for a child for Christmas 2021 to upgrade the gold fish tank. Well the gold fish have since moved on and we went to purchase a few Glofish today at Petco and the manager wouldn’t sell us any because he said the tanks to small for anything but a single Betta fish. My child was crushed and I was a bit annoyed as the product packaging has Glofish all over it. Seems like false advertising to me.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Need an air pump before adding fish

Average Quality Tank. The filter does not aerate the tank. Add an air pump or replace the filter with a custom one before adding fish.

No, I do not recommend this product.

You get what you paid for

Rayne95

You get exactly as described. It was all fairly easy to setup. The instructions that came with it were both written and picture form which was really helpful. My only gripe is the filter system is huge for a 5 gallon. Also, if you plan to get more than 2 fix, you should just go ahead and get a 10-15 gallon at the minimum. Most places are going to recommend a 20 gallon for 6-15 fish depending on fish size.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I have the 10 gallon glo fish tank like this for my daughter. Do they sell replacement lights for this? I can’t seem to find any.

Can I use this for a frog?

  1. 3 years ago
    I don't know. I've never had a frog. But I think you can

I just purchased this tank for my son for his birthday, and it has a single betta in it now. It seems the betta is getting pulled near the filter. Could it be too strong? Should the filter be inside the tank, or hanging outside? Worried I did wrong. Thank

  1. 3 years ago
    This tank did the same with mine. The stock filter is actually too strong for a betta. I replaced mine with a softer filter, with an adjustable flow, so my fishy would get caught in it.

What filter cartridges do I use for this filter?

  1. 3 years ago
    I use the Medium Whisper Bio Bag. I personally like them and feel that they work really good.

Is this filter too strong for betta fish? I want to get a betta and have been researching tanks for two females or one male.

  1. 3 years ago
    No it isn't. We are using it as a nursery tank for 50+ newly born cichlids. We had to put netting over the filter intake to stop the babies from getting sucked into it, but betas would be fine in it!

Can I use this for betta fish?

  1. 4 years ago
    Absolutely not. Bettas need at least 10 gallons of water. A 5 gallon is far too small even for one betta. This 5-gallon tank could be suitable for some shrimp and snails, but that's about it.



4 years ago

Does it come with dècor or/and gravel? If it doesn’t and it is just the tank, that is one horrible price!

  1. 4 years ago
    No gravel or decor comes with it, but it includes everything else. Try pricing what you would pay for tank, filter, filter cartridge and heater separately and I think you see it a good price.

what all does this tank come with? need to know quick my granddaughter is about to have a birthday!

  1. 4 years ago
    This may be late, but it comes with: Tank, Filter, Heater, Lid, Blue and White Lights, Thermometer, Sample size water conditioner.

Two questions: Are the tanks now improved so leaking won't happen? Can you put a beta fish in this tank?

  1. 5 years ago
    Not all of them leaked. sometimes they just screw up and make a bad tank. and you can return it if it leaks at the start..... and yes. you could keep 1 male betta or 2-3 female bettas In this tank
