“Takes only 10 to 15 minutes,” says one reviewer, noting that this option is “Best for people do not want to deal with cleaning up all the filter equipments, pipes in the regular tank.” Most reviewers note that it is made of acrylic and not glass, but that’s ideal for one reviewer who brings this fish tank on the road: “I purchased this fish tank to use inside my Airstream and absolutely love it! I hang it on the wall using heavy duty command strips. I added a live plant to the top before adding my betta who is very happy.” Other reviewers make mention of this bowl being surprisingly easy to clean, since they can fit their hand through the top. “I was doubtful at first that it could look like the picture but darned if it doesn’t,” admits one satisfied customer, who adds, “Mine looks great and even came with the rocks and little tacky plant. “Overall, the aquarium is well protected from the outside and there is no risk of fish jumping out or cats jumping in,” concludes one reviewer.

Most reviewers mention this tank being ideal for a betta fish, although reviewers caution that the highest flow setting on the filter may be too strong, and the filter should be set to low before putting your betta in the tank. I have a similar 10-gallon marine aquarium by a ‘bigger name’ and paid A LOT more for it because of the hidden filtration, but this little aquarium far surpasses that one.” There’s also a “false wall in the back that hides the filter and pump,” explains another reviewer, a feature that only adds to the aesthetics. In fact, I ordered another one because I loved the first one so much!!! For a small aquarium it has a big visual presence. As one reviewer explains, “If you are looking for a beautiful 5-gallon tank that has a nice built-in filter and great lighting, look no further than this beauty.” Another reviewer calls this, “a beautiful aquarium for the price. This five-gallon fish tank gets top marks for being easy to clean and relatively quiet with excellent lights.
