- Is this tank good for a betta?
- Yes. The footprint and volume suit a single betta, and the open-back lid leaves room for a small filter and light. Add a heater, since bettas need warm water.
- What do I need to buy besides the tank?
- You need a filter, a heater, a light and a thermometer, plus a lid or cover if you want to slow evaporation. The tank comes with the glass body, lid and base pads only.
- Does the lid fit a hang-on-back filter?
- The lid has a 4 cm opening at the back for a light or filter line. Measure your filter's body before buying, because wider hang-on units may not clear the cutout.
- How much water does it actually hold?
- The stated capacity is about 5 to 6 gallons. Real volume is lower once you add substrate and decorations, so plan stocking for roughly 5 gallons.
- Is the glass clear or green-tinted?
- It is low-iron glass, which has less of the green tint of standard glass and gives a clearer, more color-accurate view.
- Can I use it without the lid?
- Yes, it is rimless and works open-top. Without a lid, expect faster evaporation and check that fish that jump, like some bettas, cannot escape.
