Mini Bow Desktop Kit Aquarium - 5 gallon - Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to try a MiniBow thinking it would be something like my Eclipse tank, but it surely isn't! The exaggerated "bow" in the front distorts my betta fish when he swims near the back and far sides of the tank. Not only that, the light that comes with this thing is simply horrible! It makes everything in the tank yellowish! Suddenly my black gravel looks like brown mud and my fish's subtle natural pink colors are nearly impossible to see or appreciate. Plus I have found it hard to buy replacement filters locally. I would never, ever buy a MiniBow again. I'll be buying another Eclipse, which I heartily recommend as superior in all respects.

Mini Bow Desktop Kit Aquarium - 2.5 gallon - Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After the most recent demise of my last Betta- Hot Temper, who bless his heart, lived 2 years in a 1 gallon fish bowl, I found myself in a fish store (not so soon after, I did mourn the little guy). Wandering about I could not deny my instant love for a feisty beautiful little guy the size of a small drapery tassel, I brought him home (instant gratification and instant love is my middle name)...and proceeded to give him 'Hot Temper's' life all over again (yes...in a bowl), but this time I thought he might benefit from living at work with me (I work all the time)...fast forward to cute little fish, living on my desk, and between calls me looking up just what might make him happy (er)...I come to a sudden realization that I sucked as a fish mom(formerly) and needed to give the little guy what he truly deserved, more oxygen, more "toys", more room and heat.I bought this little aquarium wonder (w/a black top),bye bye bowl, and wow have I got one happy fish!This tank is an easy set up,the filter (that worried me sick) is great, it will not swallow or eat your Betta (as far as I can tell so far...thank goodness!),he is not struggling through any major currents and as far as I can tell, he is a happy camper (or show off). I purchased a small heater to keep his temp at what is most conducive to his normal habitat,my Betta is making bubbles nests, and showing off like a full finned champ. I always thought I had a happy Betta, until now, this fish is unbelievably active and showy.I know it's a fish, but he sure reminds me of a puppy with fins!I love this little tank, perfect on a desk top, easy to set up, perfect for a Betta (just buy a heater, plants, gravel and hiding nook and you're set!) Love this!!

Mini Bow Aquarium - 1 Gallon - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is an ideal tank size for a betta.The filter works just fine and not too strong for the betta. I like the two convenient open holes for easy feeding. The light seems to generate too much heat if it is turned on for a long period of time which can cause the top cover melting out. I put in about an inch of gravel at the bottom.The water looks so clean after a week later. I can now do the 50 percent water change on the weekly basic.The betta seems to be happy with it.

Marineland Eclipse Acrylic Aquarium System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great starter aquarium.Order a book or two about having fish when you order the aquarium too and wait a week before getting fish.

In years past you'd have all sorts of work with the filters and such.With the bio-wheel that comes with this tank your only work is to occasionally replace the "physical filter" and do a partial water change.That's it!The tank also comes with a beautiful light that'll really make your fish shine.

You will need some gravel too and some plants and maybe a stone or two for the fish to hide behind.The gravel and such are best picked up at your local pet store. Start out with plastic plants rather than live plants; you'll have plenty to do anyway.

In my experience things are easier if you have a heater too.The fish likes the water temperature to be constant.I've been using a 150w heater with good success in this tank.

Let the tank run with the heater for a day or two to get the temperature stable.When you add your first fish, start out with just a few small fish (actually, in a 12 gallon tank you should always only have small fish, little tetras and such -- don't worry, they are beautiful) to get the bio-wheel going. Your books will explain it, but it takes some time for the biological processes to get going in the tank and keep things in balance, so the water can get poisonous quickly for your fish if you add too many.(Get a packet of test strips to test the water quality daily -- it's just when you get started, later the bio-wheel will keep things steady unless you keep too many fish in the tank).

I can also recommend getting another tank, maybe a 3 gallon tank, to keep new fish in before they go in the main tank.(Of course that only works if you keep small fish, with bigger fish the 12 gallon tank would be your quarantine tank...):-)

Good luck!
