Adriana O.: The bowl is perfect for my desk. The only flaw is that the light does not have an on and off switch so it stays on all the time. I have to go under my desk to disconnect the plug from the wall. Other than this complaint, I am happy with the purchase.

MondellofitMondellofit: I keep the longer fin variety of bettas and it has been my experience that most of them hate big tanks! I know 5 gallons or more are usually recommended but domesticated bettas are usually raised up in small containers and cups and are overwhelmed when placed in larger tanks. This little gem is the perfect size for them and provides enough space for plants and swimming without damaging delicate fins. I added my own nano heater and bought a full spectrum led plant stand with light because the stock light is just plain ugly (hence only four stars). It also makes a great little hospital tank are there plenty of nano sponge filters that will fit in there.

SR: It's a pretty nice aquarium, about a gallon, so I was extremely surprised why there was a betta care guide in the instructions. I wouldn't put anything in a 1 gallon (0.9 US Gallons to be exact) besides shrimp and snails. A bit smaller than what I had thought, but nice nevertheless. Nice lid, came with a light and the glass seems to be of decent quality.

However, since it's so tiny, you will have a hard time finding a filter for this aquarium. There is also a major issue with the light, it doesn't have an on / off switch... So you need to unplug it every time which is extremely annoying. The light itself is super flimsy and cheap and the gooseneck doesn't want to stay in the correct position, it will slowly bend back. The light itself isn't that powerful either...

Overall, not the greatest product in the world, but isn't the worst. Decent, would recommend but not a "highly" recommend.

Natasha Groves: I am using this tank to grow out aquarium grass and use as a quarantine tank. THIS SHOULD NOT HOLD AN ADULT BETTA. We see cruelty in pet stores, where animals are in small cages with many of their kind and betta are in tiny, cute cups, but that doesn't mean they are meant to live their whole lives like that. They put them in small cups because they sell quick, like a grab and go, and most of the animals are babies or also sell quick. People have a misunderstanding that this is the norm for these animals. Betta, like many of their cousin breeds, live in shallow ponds and can breathe from the surface with their labyrinth organ. Please note, they prefer a wide, shallow (8-12 inch depth) tank and are known to jump at least a few inches so they should have a lid or a few extra inches of space between the surface and the rim. A single betta male could live in a 5-10 gallon fairly comfortably with a filter (without too much water movement, maybe sponge filter) and places to hide (think plants, etc.), but this tank is NOT A 'BETTA' tank. If you would like something to live in this tank, long term, I might suggest up to 5 shrimp or maybe a couple pom pom crabs, but not both at once. If you...

AYUDATORSAYUDATORS: Que no os engañen, ningún pez debería estar en un acuario con tan poco agua si no es temporalmente, ni siquiera un Betta 🐟 pues terminará por morirse en meses en lugar de en años. Aunque indica que son 3,4 litros nunca lo llenarías hasta arriba por lo que se queda en 2️⃣ pobres litros que como metas decoración sería todavía menos.

En cuanto al acuario, lo usaría más para cuarentenas o transporte de peces, el mínimo tiempo para no causarles estrés. Los cristales no están muy bien rematados 👎y la silicona está mal limpiada. Recomiendo por ello que nada más llegue hagáis una prueba de llenado para ver que no pierda agua. La luz floja👎 y no lucen los colores del pez como debería.

💡Por 30€ tienes varios modelos de la marca Blau con un litraje más adecuado para un pez Betta: https://www.amazon.es/Blau-Aquaristic-Panoramic-20X20X25-litros/dp/B07MJXZGSN/ y que te permitirá tener un filtro y termostato para que no muera.

Os pongo una foto de un acuario DISTINTO al de Marina, en este caso de 10 litros para que comparéis como puede vivir en uno respecto al otro. No ocupa espacio en casa y es decorativo por 4 o 5€ más ahórrate el...

Cliente AmazonCliente Amazon: Do 5 stelle perche le merita tutte.
Dipendendo l'uso che darete a questa vaschetta è davvero perfetta e Davvero elegante.
È Fatta in vetro e coperchio di plastica trasparente.
Viene dotata di una lampada LED ottima per le dimensioni della vaschetta.
- Unica pecca (che già avevo letto in altre recensioni) è la mancanza di un interruttore per la lampada. Ho risolto con una presa Timer semplice, così si accende e spegne da solo.
Ho inoltre aggiunto:
- Un piccolo ma validissimo e funzionale filtro a zainetto che da movimento all'acqua e la mantiene pulita rende la vaschetta ancora più completa. Si trova su Amazon a pochi euro.
Sto valutando a breve un mini riscaldatore in modo da garantire anche di notte una temperatura costante.
Nel mio caso userò la vaschetta come casetta temporanea per un betta salvato da un bicchiere :( in attesa poi con più calma, passare ad un litraggio maggiore.
Il flusso del filtro è regolabile e messo al minimo; da all'acqua giusto quel minimo di movimento, senza dare fastidio al mio nuovo amico :) la consiglio veramente tanto!
AGGIORNATO:
Davvero bello, la lampada purtroppo ha smesso di funzionare dopo circa 1 mese...

JackJack: Pros:
- very sleek rimless glass tank. Trust me, it looks freaking awesome
- small space requirement and looks very nice on a desk
- lid is pretty well thought out: covers a good majority of the edge to prevent jumpers flying out, has a center hole large enough for light to shine through and to feed your fish, and has a small gap at the back to allow clip on lights and heater cords, etc.

Con:
- stock LED is dim. It works if you just want it to shine at your betta, but it's not good enough for any plants other than maybe duckweed and anubias. If you want a planted tank like I did, you almost must invest into another light option, or a window with adequate sunlight.
- it's a small tank. It's very difficult to keep stuff alive if you don't know what you are doing
- again, it's a small tank... which means finding equipment for it is tough. A filter for it without eating up a significant amount of space is basically impossible. I tried the smallest HOB filter I can find (Azoo Mignon) but the filter looks as wide as the tank itself and is just plain ugly and looks like a kid with a backpack bigger than himself, so I kind of give up on the idea of filter on this...

Ambra.94Ambra.94: Ho comprato questo acquario per i miei due nuovi pesciolini rossi. Essendo dei pesciolini piccoli non cercavo nulla di esageratamente grosso, non avevo grandi pretese.
L'unica cosa di cui avevo ASSOLUTAMENTE bisogno era un'acquario con una luce, essendo praticamente tutto il giorno fuori per lavoro non potevo lasciarli al buio.
Qualcuno penserà "perchè non comprare le due cose separate?" la risposta .. COSTA TUTTO DAVVERO TROPPO.

Di questa tipologia ne esistono davvero pochi, ma trovato questo anche se dalle immagini mi sembrava un po' piccolino ho voluto comunque provare ad acquistarlo, soprattutto per il prezzo non esagerato (20 euro).
E' davvero carino, grandezza giusta, comodo, luce forte e coperchio originale, così da non rischiare che un giorno rientrando a casa ti ritrovi i pesciolini fuori dall'acquario.
Le uniche 2 cose non tanto belle, che mi hanno fatto mettere 4 stelle al posto di 5 sono:
1. il filo della luce, lo hanno fatto NERO, potevano secondo me farlo o trasparente o bianco così da non notarlo. Io avendo la presa un po' lontana dal centro della tavola rende il tutto poco armonioso.
2. il fondo dell'acquario. consigli a chi lo acquista...
