Tetra 29095 Cube Aquarium Kit, 3-Gallon

My Bettas always seem kinda lost in a 5 gallon, but this 3 gallon is the perfect size for a Betta. The filter is very quiet, silent really, keeps the water perfectly clear and the low current is perfect for Bettas. Added a 7.5 watt heater which keeps the temperature at 78F, but I think it caused condensation on the lid and top space, which I didn't really like; I wanted a very clear look. So I added a clear acrylic spacer on either side, I just glued on with a glue gun. I found the spacers in my aquarium stuff, not sure what they are called, see 2nd picture. The spacers raise the lid about 3/4 of an inch, lid is now perfectly clear, no condensation and I think the raised lid gives the aquarium a nicer look than before; looks taller.

I decided to introduce a Betta sorority in my biggest tank, and had an aggressive female who attacked and killed other fish. I only had a 1 gallon to keep her in, I didn't have a money to spend on a lot of equipment, and I didn't really have room for anymore aquariums. I grabbed one of these from Amazon Warehouse at a steal, and as somewhat knowledgeable aquarium owner I wanted to give my impressions. Filter Pump Noise Level: Probably the biggest thing on everyone's mind concerning this purchase. Let me assure you it is absolutely silent with very low agitation. I have 4 different sized filter pumps and this is the most quiet, albeit smallest one. There is absolutely no friggin' way for your fish to get sucked into it, the water inlet hole is about as big as a lead pencil. It has just enough movement to circulate the water through a very small charcoal filter. You don't even so much as hear water trickling because there is very little movement. The Tetra Whisper 3i is a hang on the inside style filter, and the impeller snaps onto the bottom of the reservoir, so there are no hoses. The trick is everything needs to fit together snug and tight, you really have to force the impeller housing onto the end of the reservoir to get a good fit. There is also a clip to attach so you can hang it on the aquarium and you really have to push in tight so it's stable. I adjusted it to the tallest height setting and filled the water level to the appropriate height in my pictures. If you look at them you can see I added a piece of rubber drawer liner to the clip to act as a vibration dampener. It also says in the instruction manual that you can order suction cups if you have a problem with the clip for some reason. Design: I really like the sleek, minimalist style. It looks cool, and is a functional piece of art that is perfect for an office, or bedroom. The plastic is crystal clear, but it is plastic so there is the potential for scratches if those bother you. Features: I got exactly what I needed: a complete aquarium in a small form factor, with a quiet pump, and an LED light. You really should get a small aquarium heater and an AC light timer A) for your convenience and B) for the fish to have a consistent light schedule. A cheap $5 rotary style is all you really need. The LED light and pump are both two prong, non-grounded AC plugs. Other things you will need you may not be thinking of: Don't waste money on fake plants, real ones are cheaper and they help clear and oxygenate the water. You need a 5lb bag of aquarium substrate, extra filters, some kind of a hiding spot for your fish, liquid aquarium bacteria, water dechlorinator, and a gravel vacuum. You really should give your aquarium time to properly cycle and clarify before adding a fish, but I didn't really have a choice this time so I used plant clippings, rocks, and decorations from other tanks and lots of bacteria starter. You need to do a 25% water change every week and check your filters frequently.

La mejor compra para un pez Betta. La pecera viene con un filtro y lampara led. Cuenta con un buen tamaño para que tu pez sea feliz y activo. El filtro no me ocasiono ningún problema, lo revise un par de veces y funciona a la perfección. Sin duda alguna es la mejor compra que he podido hacer para mi pez. Perfecta para ti o un regalo.

First of all a 3 gallon tank is too small for any fish long term. For example, a single betta needs at least a 5 gallons. I got this tank because I needed to quarantine 3 celestial pearl danios. This small plastic aquarium looks better than a plastic bin or a bucket. I didn't need a heater because the room I kept the CPD quarantined at was at 24C. Please do your research before getting any fish, this aquarium isn't meant to be a full time aquarium. It's commonly bought for Bettas but they need a heater as they must be kept in water that is 26C. With an aquarium this small, it's hard to keep water parameters stable. It's however perfect to quarantine or treat nano fishes for illness as medication needed in a 3 gallon is much less.

Me encantó la pecera, muy buena elección. En precio, tamaño y diseño, todo excelente. Recomendada.
