GloFish Crescent Aquarium Kit 5 Gallons, Includes Hidden Blue LED Light And Internal Filter

This tank is awesome, was skeptical because it is plastic but wanted to give this a go anyway. Two small issues I personally have with it but not deal breakers. One, the lid does not snap on so if you have cats might wanna tape the back or something so it doesn't slide off. Two, it's plastic and scratches very easily. As long as you are delicate with it from the beginning (I scratched it being rough with the substrate.) it will be fine. I didn't bother using the HOB filter went straight to sponge filter as it's in my bedroom and don't wanna hear the sound of running water all night. Panted the back black and use black substrate I already had from another tank. All in all I love the curve front, and the size the blue light works good and no leaks, will update if anything changes. So far I really recommend. Its like staring off into another world. Its very calming. Size: Max width @9" Max length @15" Hight @11"

Muy bonito y duradero y facil de limpiar

This is a wonderful little tank. we decided that we wanted to get a few fish, so we looked into options for a place for them to live. The first idea was a cute little led colored bubbler tank, but they topped out at three gallons, and we wanted the fish to have a bit of room. The normal everyday 10gal tank was out of the question, because we live in a small apartment and barely have room to move around as it is. After a bit of research into tanks we decided to go with this one as it has the nice led lighting, room for a small fish to move around, comes with a filter system, and wasn't really heavy. The only place we have to keep a tank in on top of a folding wire dog kennel that our cute little dog lives in, to much weight and we would not only be out a fish tank, but be shopping for a new kennel. A tank of this size means you have to be careful of which fish you choose to live inside it. Anything that grows to a large size is out of the question, the rule I found out is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. That means if you get fish an inch long you can put five in this tank without overloading it. If you wish to have more fish, you should get a larger tank. So this limited the choices of fish a bit. We ended up going with two of the fish the tank is named for glo-fish (one pink one green), and since it was on sale a little fiddler crab, (everything said we should wait on the crab as it takes awhile for the tank to grow the right kind of bacteria, but he is so cute we got him anyway) then we stopped at a pet store named for fish and picked some tiny neon tetra's and a couple zebra danio's. all the fish lined up nose to tail might be 4 inches(if you pull hard on each one as you measure), so with the crab (that does morning exercise), we are right at the limit for this tank. Little tanks mean more cleaning as there is no space for anything to hide. The fish eat, that means after the food is processed thru the fish it has to go somewhere, which means you have to get that back out of the tank. Plus new fresh gravel tends to cloud the water (something else I just learned), so has to be clean often. all this leads to every other day cleaning for the first month of ownership I am told. I didn't know it was going to be so much work to keep the little tank going, but its really not that hard to clean if you get a gravel cleaner (available at most pet stores for around ten dollars). It takes less time to clean the tank, than it does to pre heat the oven. I know as she was starting to make diner when I got off work and turned the oven on to pre heat, before it was ready for the food to go in the tank was cleaned and ready to roll. This all means that its not much of time consuming task to clean up. The fish seem very happy, they zip back and forth and dart thru all the decorations (not included with the tank but easy to find), and the crab climbs into places that make you wonder how it could possible get there. Its a very relaxing thing to have in the home as I find myself watching the little fish darting around instead of watching the television so much. Plus feeding time is allot of fun as the fish get to be really active trying to get all the food for themselves (they hate to share). For those of us out there without allot of space and with a desire to have little finned creatures zipping around in our homes, I highly recommend this tank. For those out there with more space I would say find something a lot larger and fill it with fun things like little freshwater sharks.

Purchase this tank over a couple years ago now and it’s still a great home to our Fishies.

La compré para un pez betta, posteriormente agregué grava y algunos accesorios. A veces el filtro hace ruido, es muy raro pero puede suceder. La luz está muy bien, el filtro mantiene el agua limpia por bastante tiempo, la pecera es resistente, la recomiendo.
