PONDON Betta Fish Tank, 2 Gallon Glass Aquarium, 3 in 1 Fish Tank with Filter and Light, Desktop Small Fish Tank for Betta Fish, Shrimp, Goldfish (Black)

The filter is terrible - it doesn’t work well, there is no waterfall!

Comes fully broken

I thought was bigger

I recently saved some tadpole eggs from my yard and needed to put them in a tank so they could have more room for growth in a safer environment. I love this tank for it's size, sound level, easy access/assembly, and the light is a nice touch too. I had a sun light already so I primarily use that for them to keep them warmer but the light that came with the tank is nice too, though less bright and warm for the tadpoles. The filtratrion system is lovely and easy to use. My only qualm with this product is that in order to use the filtration system you have to nearly fill the tank up to the brim with water to do so. I can't use it regularly seeing has to how I need it for fresh water tadpoles. They can't be in water that is too deep and when they're legs come out they won't have any space to climb for oxygen. I keep the water about 1/3rd the way filled and rotate fresh rain water in every few days. A couple times a month I do use the filtration system and fill it up and let it filter the water more for several hours before remover most the water again. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Contrary to the description and the pictures, this aquarium is not made of glass. It seems acrylic. Also, there are some cable management issues due to the UK plug being too big for the design. It seems to have been only designed for other smaller plugs causing the water pump to tilt. Looks and feels flimsy.

good

First of all, this is a plastic tank, NOT glass! Secondly, the design of the valve to control water flow is bad. If you lose power or somehow the filter stops running, water will back siphon through the tubing and will be all over your counter/table - this is probably the leaking problem some reviewers complained about. It may not be leaking through the edges of the tank but from the tube. If you don’t mind the quality and appearance, you should put the end of the tube inside the tank. Don’t let it hang outside. Thirdly, huge bubbles gather below the filter box and are quite loud when they pop every few seconds, stressing my fish. I’m not sure if the bubbles will eventually stop, as I’ve already disconnected the tank and bought a much nicer 3 gal glass tank with full kit for from a local pet store for $10 less. Glass tanks are just so much more beautiful. Lastly, the light is way too bright. I don’t think the fish and live plants would like it except for algae!
