2.5 Gallon Fish Tank Small Aquarium Kit for Betta, Shrimp, Guppy, Acrylic

I am beyond impressed with this 2.5 Gallon Fish Tank Starter Kit! The design is sleek, modern, and perfect for small spaces like a desk, bedroom, or office. What really stood out to me is the hidden filtration system — it keeps the tank looking super clean and uncluttered while still doing an amazing job keeping the water crystal clear. The filter runs quietly too, which is a huge plus. Setup was incredibly easy, even for someone newer to aquariums. Everything fit together perfectly, and the tank feels very sturdy and well made. The size is perfect for a betta fish or small aquatic setup, and the clear glass gives such a beautiful view from every angle. I also love how low maintenance it has been compared to other small tanks I’ve owned. The hidden filtration creates better water circulation without taking away from the aesthetic of the aquarium. It honestly looks much more expensive than it is. Overall, this starter kit exceeded my expectations in both quality and appearance. Highly recommend for beginners or anyone wanting a stylish, compact aquarium setup!

I wanted a nice desktop aquarium. While I know it’s not the most ideal size for a betta, he seems to be happy with it. I’ll probably upgrade to a bigger tank at some point once I am able. I added live plants, a heater and betta hammock. Setup was a little tricky and I should have paid attention to the back where the filter is as I had overflow of water, but that was a user error on my end. Once I figured it out the tank ran beautifully. So far it’s whisper quiet. I did have to find a way to get the water flow from the pump to be slower. Even on the lowest flow setting it was too strong for my betta. But I managed to find a solution and it’s the perfect slow flow for him. Overall pleased with this aquarium.

I’ve had my betta in this tank for 3 months and it’s leaking water everywhere on my stand. Way too expensive for only lasting 3 months.

Excellent. This is a beautiful setup, all the mechanisms are in back and unseen. All you see is the beautiful view you create. The water pressure was a little high so I contacted seller and they sent me a pro nozzle to slow it down. What Great Customer service. They really stand behind their product. This is the perfect size for my betta. There is no noise whatsoever and it is so easy to clean five stars would definitely recommend.

The light feature worked great for about a month. Now it's so dim, no matter which setting, even at full brightness that you can't tell the light is on at all. So if you're excited about that feature, you may want to consider another product. I also find it difficult to pick up and carry to sink for changing water and cleaning. There are no handles or grips which make it both awkward and heavy.

Super great and sleek little fish tank. The pump is indeed too fast. The instruction booklet doesn’t say this, but there is a toggle on the pump to slow it down. If that is not enough, you can get a pro pump attachment to slow it down further. https://www.amazon.com/Nozzle-360%C2%B0Free-Rotate-Aquarium-Outlet/dp/B0F7PK4D7P (This is the one I got). Also, hot tip: fill it half way and then run the pump while you fill it the rest of the way, or else you’ll end up spilling water out of the back end. I bought the tank without the heater and got my own little water heater for much cheaper (3.9 inches or less in length). I’m happy with it! Betta is happy too!

I like the look of this tank, the one piece design, the rounded corners and all of the accessories hidden behind the back plate. The mini aquarium heater that I purchased separately fits nicely behind the plate and keeps my beta water at 80°. I do have two complaints, however. Firstly, the submersible water pump that was included with the tank is far too powerful for the 2 1/2 gallon water capacity. The pump worked at 90 gallons per minute and upset my beta since there was no calmer water even to the far end of the tank. It also pushed her up against the filtration grate. I had to unplug the water pump periodically so she could come out from hiding and eat. I bought a new submersible water pump that is much slower and it is working nicely. Secondly, I do not see a two layer filtration in the included batting as described in the product detail.

This is a wonderful fish tank! Love that the filtration system is all tucked in the back. Set up was easy. The water pressure was much too high for our beta, so I contacted customer service. They were very quick to respond and sent a nozzle to add onto it to slow the pressure down. It works great!
