NICREW 2.5 Gallon Nano Nature Aquarium Kit, Ultra-Clear Rimless Desktop Fish Tank with Light and Filter, Perfect for Small Fish, Shrimp, or Betta, Basic Version, Black

Fantastic quality for the price, I am blown away! The tank is sleek, beautiful, and I LOVE the black background that's built into the glass. It feels very sturdy and high quality, no blemishes in the silicone which is very nice, no leaks so far. The filter is great, completely silent and very powerful, I have it on the lowest setting and there's still no dead spaces in the tank currently. Once the carbon filter is gunked up I will be replacing it with sponge or filter floss like I do with my bigger tank. The light seems strong and looks great on the plants, but time will tell when it comes to how it grows them. The size fits perfectly on my desk, and it will be perfect for my shrimp and snails once it is cycled and planted. My only complaint is that the lid doesn't seem to fit just right, and I think it's because of the light's clamp-on base being just a hair too big for it to sit flush with the cutout. But unless you look closely or fiddle around with it, it's stable and looks good. Love the little feeding port and access hole at the top that comes with a little lid that slides into place. Pro tip: This is NOT suitable for fish! It is too small for even bettas who will need 5+ gallons, or micro rasboras which need 10+. I recommend snails and shrimp, just as I am doing. This would be an incredible tank for Opae Ula shrimp, brine shrimp, amphipods, or other bizarre pets.

This is a beauuuuuutiful aquarium! It's just the perfect size for my betta, who is very, very happy in here, with it being heavily planted, a tunnel, a shelf hammock, a driftwood open cave, and a clay "vase" full of more Anubias. What I love about this tank: - Intelligently designed and very functional. There are two small slots in the back of the cover/lid, which fits my bubbler tube perfectly on the left. My heater cord fits perfectly in the slot on the right. I don't use the filter or the light clip that comes with it, so I cut up pieces of the foam packing to cover those up to retain the heat. The little hole in the front left is left open for air exchange. - The feeding hole right in the middle of the lid is the perfect size. It has its own lid that conveniently lifts on and off for easy feeding. - The beautiful glass is crystal clear, feels super smooth, and has a pretty light blue-green tint on the edges. - The silicone seal is completely invisible, not sloppy goops like some big-box store brands. - The material/glass feels like high quality. - The tank overall feels very sturdy and well made. - The base has a light white pad, which helps with stability so it doesn't slide around very easily. - The lid has a thin inner lip, so condensation and bubbler spray fall back into the tank and does not leak on the outside, as I have experienced with another tank. - Love the sleek, minimalist look of the whole tank. Even the lid is very suave and fits perfectly. I spent days looking at many tanks and their specs. I had originally ordered a different tank, but cancelled it just in time and got this one instead. So happy that I did. This is a bit pricey, considering I'm not using the filter or the light that comes with it. But overall this is a great tank, very beautiful, high quality, and well made. I would buy 1,000 of these. Very highly recommended!

This kit is amazing for the price. The tank is great quality and crystal clear. It has the absorption and balancing pad adhered to the bottom which is convenient. Super cool little filter too. I don't use carbon with my tanks so instead I filled as much biomedia in there that I could along with the cartridge filter. Very quiet and no issues with it although I do wonder if it's cycling enough water. I mounted it on the short end so I don't know if it's leaving dead pockets on the other side. This is just a planted tank currently so no biggie if so. The light is my only complaint. It runs super hot and is pretty weak overall. I don't think it's capable of providing the lighting plants need. There's so many quality lights for super cheap on Amazon so it's null. All in all this can't be beat for the price however. For any of you considering this as your startup or a gift for someone this holiday season (that's deserving of a $60 setup), do it.

This is the perfect tank for my fish and I absolutely love the look of it! Totally worth the purchase and my fishie and my little snail ate so happy in this tank. My fishie is way more active, friendly, and comes out to say hi every time I come check in on him and my snail. The filter functions well but is not the best filter but it doesn’t matter if you have live plants because the plants keep the water crystal clear and calls for way less water changes. I highly recommend this tank and to get some live plants to put in it as well! Also the lid for the opening isn’t the best but I found a lid to a jar that fits like a glove. The circular lid is a random piece of plastic. I recommend finding a different covering for the top of the tank. The lid on the tank is what I put that fit perfect the circle plastic is what came with the tank and I didn’t like it and got lucky and found the jar lid that fits like a glove. That would be my only issue because other thank that, this tank is perfect for my fishie, snail and myself!

This is a really cute tank. Please be mindful about what you put into it because it is for plants/single critters/or maybe a handful of shrimp. It is exactly as pictured. The snail is pleased.

Purchased this for snails. I'm not sure if it's large enough for anything else. It was super easy to set up and has been working great.

I absolutely love this aquarium. The filter is SUPER quiet and it is the perfect size for live plants and a single Betta. I bought a female for the first time and she is way more active than any male I ever had. I upgraded with rock, gravel, driftwood, and a heater. Love it!

I bought this tank for my betta fish that I had for awhile. I replaced the old tank because I wanted a glass tank. This tank is perfect size. My fish was happy. I had not used the light that came with the tank because the tank is set in a semi lit room. I decided a few weeks later out of the blue to turn the light on to see how it looked. I kept it on for about 3-4 hours before bed. I woke up the next morning and my poor little fish was dead. As I was taking my dead fish out I noticed the water was actually pretty warm. So I then turned the light back on and left it on for a few hours. The water was HOT. The light is so incredibly hot that it heated the water to a temperature that no fish could withstand. So basically this light killed my fish. Mind you my fish was cute and trained to surface when I tapped the lid to the tank. It would twirl and act like a total spaz when it would see my face. I told everyone he had the zoomies. I don’t recommend using the light that comes with this tank unless you want your fish to die😢 this company NEEDS to change the light asap or there is going to be a lot of very upset consumers. I’m still very upset over this. I’ve never cried over losing a fish but I did cry over this one.

Very lovely tank. Easy to set up. Nice, quiet filter. Beautiful look and size. Love the lid with an opening to feed. Great for what we wanted it for a freshwater shrimp and guppy tank.

Don't even hesitate. This tank is awesome! My little betta guy loves the upgrade with all the extra space. The design of the tank is sleek with nice quality glass and a cool black background. Super quiet filter with adjustable water flow. Took 5 minutes to set up. Just make sure you pour water into filter chamber to activate the flow once assembled on side of tank. Also, water level in tank should be quite high to keep filter working efficiently.

Nice little tank, sturdy and quiet. Very happy. Great for guppies.

On l adore .. vraiment identique à la photo … pour le prix excellent rapport qualité prix

I bought this small aquarium for a betta fish. Overall, the build quality, glass clarity, and design are very good, and it arrived well packaged. The light and included equipment are also decent for the price. The only issue is with the tank lid. There is a feeding hole on the lid, which comes with a small round cover, but unfortunately the cover is smaller than the hole and doesn’t fully seal it. Because of this, the opening is not completely closed, which could be a concern for a betta tank. Overall, it’s a good aquarium, but fixing this small design flaw would make it much better.
