Tetra ColorFusion Starter Aquarium Kit 3 Gallons, Half-Moon Shape with Bubbler and Color-Changing Light Disc

First, let me discourage anyone from buying small tanks. If I had to do it all over again, I would never purchase anything smaller than 10 gallons. I had 3 guppies, and apparently - they need much more space, as the water gets cloudy much too quick, and too much cleaning involved with these small tanks. I don't think the filter does a very good job - it's been a month, and I've cleaned it out many times - and it also makes a very loud "bubble knocking" sound. You can hear it several rooms over, you get used to it, but it is loud. Also - the rounded look is nice to look at, but if you want to add anything to your tank - it is hard to do so, due to the rounded nature - most additions require a "flat" line to attach things to. I didn't care for submersed light - it was very large, and took so much to hold it down, that I really couldn't secure any plants around it - so I removed it, and purchased a clip on light, which is much better - but was hard to attach due to the round nature of the tank. The lid is really annoying. It is hard to take on and off - you have to get it on just right, or it falls in the tank....with baby guppies - I have to take them in and out often, and that feature is really annoying. If you want more than 1 fish...even 2 or 3, you need a 10 gallon tank - that is just the facts. Most people don't think this through when purchasing a small tank for convenience, and then they realize it isn't really realistic...just my 2 cents. So, my tank I've modified with the clip on light, and I've ditched the top completely.

Pros: Great high quality pump Elegant look Easy feeding hole Cons: Lots of tubes and wires Lid is hard to get on Light changes colors, there's no adjustments Filter runs off of pump Scratches easily (acrylic) The internal light flickered a couple of times and went out after only 2 months. The light was very pretty but it did take the focus off the fish. My betta seems to like the tank alright, he was scared of the light anyway. He flares at me without the light on, when it was on and working he wouldn't react to me at all. He has grown in it. I have to keep the bubbler and filter turned down pretty low, then completely off at night so he can rest. The tank is nice but if something is going to fail on it after only 2 months, I can't recommend it or give it a good rating... Sorry

Bought this aquarium a week ago and my Betta loves it. He has so much room to swim around. He now fans out since he is much happier in a bigger aquarium.The light display has red, blue, and green lights. The bubbles coming up from the lights change colors. We didn't have any problems keeping the light display down. It did not float up at all. You need to make sure you place some gravel on the light disc to keep it from floating up. Just make sure you are not covering any of the little bulbs. We used black gravel and you can't see the light disc at all. We purchased a separate Tetra heater and it keeps the water at 77 degrees. Filters cost about $7.00 for a box of six. We added some aquarium accessories and it looks great. We also bought a bottom feeder fish to help keep the aquarium clean and we will be adding a few snails to help with algae removal. The hoses and cords are not great, but we tied them together to keep them from getting tangled and they just sit behind the aquarium. Place the aquarium near an outlet because you do need to plug in the filter, lights, and heater. The lid is a tight fit, but it does fit. This aquarium was well worth the $26 we paid for it. We could not be happier!

I have had this tank for 6 months now. During that period I kept four Cherry barbs which later gave offspring. This tank initially caught my eye because of the rounded front "half moon." The kit I bought had a Tetra Whisper Pump 10, now I think they sell them smaller, a Tetra 3i filter, and an LED Airstone along with the usual dechlorinator and fish food trail bags they put in any kit. The Good: It looks nice, is compact, and the pump/filter is relatively quite. Since the tank is made of acrylic, it is super light and easy to carry when empty, plus if it falls it won't crack. I have this tank in my room and I sleep fine. If you buy small fish they will have plenty of space to swim around. The lid also keeps water from splashing out or the fish from committing suicide. The Bad: 3 Things. 1: This is a matter of opinion but I hate the LED rainbow airstone. It changes color on its own and you can't control it. I could never sleep with this thing on at night. I ended up taking it off and installing a normal airstone. 2: Problem 1 leads to 2 which is the kit does not have its own normal LED hood or method to install one. I had a lamp on it at first before I bought a Marineland LED hood which cost me $30. It looked quite nice. 3: The tank is about $30. Walmart sells some nice rectangular glass tank kits, I know I bought one. The 5 gallon kit cost $3 cheaper. What I'm saying is that you will save yourself more money by buying the next step up, a five gallon tank. I wasted so much money with this and in the end I ended up with the bigger tank. Plus bigger tanks are easier to maintain too so think about that. The Ugly: The evaporation is crazy on this tank. The small lightweight filter doesn't help the issue. That filter needs a specific water level otherwise it won't create the pressure it needs to function. Since tank is acrylic, the back side of tank bends easily back when filled with water. This leaves a gaping hole the lid can't cover which leads to increase evaporation. I had to constantly put water in the tank every 4 days to keep the filter running smoothly. Like I said, bigger tanks require less maintenance. Hope this helps everyone good night!

I loved this tank. It was a great starter tank for me and my 1 gold fish, 1 mystery snail, and 1 algae eater. Please note you will not need to over feed or feed more than once a day in this small tank, I found when I did the tank got icky and I was constantly cleaning it. I fed my fish once a day, I know that left over food particles were in the gravel for all to enjoy. Over feeding in this tank will be a great no no as you will find it very cloudy and dirty. The filters are easy to find and replace. The LED lights were awesome. This is not a tank where you would want a lot of decor due to the size of the tank. I just sat it upon my dresser, added a few plants, gravel,sm coral and enjoyed my pets. The filter is pretty powerful to be so small and absolutely NO NOISE from the filter..it is very quiet. I passed my tank on to my niece who will enjoy it as much as I had. I actually upgraded to a larger tank as I am wanting more fish and more decor as I embrace the hobby.
