Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Marina Betta Pals Kit, Green
Customer Review: This tank has been fun
Summary: 4 Stars
On a whim, I bought a live Betta and this tank (although I did not buy it from Amazon, I thought I would go ahead and review the product). The Betta is very happy in it, and he has actually become quite a friendly fish. He'll come up to the side of the tank when he sees me or my daughter and "play" with us.
The only downside to this tank is that it needs to be cleaned regularly. I tend to be a little compulsive, so I clean it completely at least once (and usually twice) per week. This means removing the fish and rinsing out the entire tank and gravel (don't ever use soap, however). But I suppose all tanks have to be cleaned, and it's not that big a deal given the joy that "fishie" brings my 2-year-old daughter.
Customer Review: Too small, too cold
Summary: 1 Stars
Larger tanks are easier to maintain than smaller ones, because in small tanks the fish's waste builds up rapidly (especially when there is no filter!!). Not to mention, smaller tanks give the fish very little room to move.
Also, bettas are tropical fish. Unless you keep your tank in a room which is around 80F all year, day and night, you will need to buy a heater. It is not possible to safely heat a tank that is smaller than 5 gallons.
Finally, this kit comes with a plastic plant. Betta tanks should be decorated with silk or live plants only, as plastic plants can tear their delicate fins.
Customer Review: tank will travel
Summary: 4 Stars
well this tank is small to keep a fish in full time. i ended up throwing out the rocks i hated the color and the plastic plant was to sharp for little betta fins.
this tank however is great when i have to move mr Betta or clean his big tank. the lid lets me know the fish will be safe when i move him around. he isn't to happy about being in there but the container is very secure for traveling. just make sure you have a towel around it because the thing will leak
this is not good for betta to live full time.
just remember this rule. 1 gallon of water for 1 inch of fish. bettas are 2-3 inchs.
Customer Review: Nice bowl for a nice price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nice tank for what you pay for it. I have kept a betta in this tank full time for almost two years (normal life span of a betta is 1-2 yrs.) with no shredded fins, or any other issue. Bettas are fun, hardy fish who can live happily in a small container. It's easy to clean and compact enough to enjoy almost anywhere and your betta is happy. What more could you ask for in a tank that almost anyone can afford?
