NICREW 2.5 Gallon Nano Nature Aquarium Kit Betta Fish Tank, Complete, Black

Great little tank setup for our betta and setup was great out of the box. The filter is decent and will be just fine until we switch over to a sponge filter for this size. Cycling the tank was pretty easy with this setup. We use the lowest flow setting since bettas prefer calmer waters. We bought a heater separately, but it’s so warm in SoCal that the water stays between 78-80° without. The light gets pretty warm, so keep an eye on tank temps while it’s on. Went for the tank without gravel because we had our own we wanted to use. Great for small spaces. High quality glass. Black tinted back glass. Very affordable. Happy fish.

Nicest rimless nano aquarium I have ever bought. It was packaged so well and it really helped because my sister accidentally dropped it bringing it in. For the size, this tank really stands out. Perfect size and shape for my desk. Immediately upon opening I noticed it has a nice built in leveling matt. This tank is super sturdy but not too heavy. Doesn’t take up too much room. I also noticed the bottom is glass too and not cheap plastic like most nanos. It came with the back glass painted black, but there is a clear option as well. I paint the backs of all my tanks black and often use black substrate. Makes the fish stand out and brightly colored. I leak tested it for 2 days before setting it up and there was no leakage at all. The light is really nice and bright. I like that I can switch it on and off with 1 push of a button. However, I like things uncomplicated. So if you want full spectrum and programmable you will want to get a different type. Works great with my plants. I put velcro on back of light switch and the tank to have easy access. I put a floating log and Amazon frog bit in my tank to shade my ADFs. The filter is wonderful and simple for this size tank. IMO it is comparable to the Fluval HOB filters at a fraction of the price. So good I ordered the same filter separately for another nano tank. Works great and is almost silent. I added some ceramic media to the right side of my filter. I like that it has multiple types of filtration in one yet not complicated at all. Super easy to clean the sponge filter inside the tank that makes it safe for smaller critters like neos. The one on the outside-HOB-is great because it has carbon & basically filter floss and another pre-sponge basically all in one. If you don’t want to use this kind, i suggest filter floss. All in all looks amazing (and expensive) at a stealer price. Great for a starter tank too. Would def buy again!

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.

A very nice aquarium for the price. It fits well on a desk and looks great. I am using mine as a planted desk tank for a handful of cherry neocaridina shrimp and this kit is perfect for that purpose. The filter runs quietly - however I have found that if the filter is jostled it can produce an audible hum. When that happens I just gently reposition it until I hear it running more smoothly. It's a relatively good filter so far, but my tank is also planted so the filter quality matters slightly less - I do really like the adjustable flow knob so I can make the current gentler as I have had shrimplets hatch in this aquarium since I set it up. I cannot comment on the quality of the light that comes in this kit, as I decided to use a different light I already had set up at my desk, but I did plug it in and it seems like a perfectly nice light so I might use it for one of my other tanks. Personally I would not keep fish in this tank because I feel like it is too small, but it is perfect for a small population of invertebrates. I may purchase this kit again in the future for raising other colors and varieties of shrimp, and possibly also for keeping micro crabs. I have yet to find a similar tank that is so suitable for raising aquatic plants and invertebrates for such a good price!

One of the coolest fish tanks I've ever owned. The 2.5 gallon tank is perfect for a betta fish and a mystery snail. The light that came with the tank failed but I found a better option anyways. The mini filter than comes with the tank is great, and does a great job filtering the tank. It has adjustability for flow depending on your needs or the type of fish. All of the seals and connections of the glass are sturdy and sound, no leaks. I will say that the lid is the downside. I wish that it was a little better material, its plastic so it's easy to scratch when cleaning. Other than that, it a great option for a reasonable price.

This tank is beautiful and easy to set up. This whole planted aquascape took less than 15 minutes to build as soon as I got the tank out of the box. The filter is silent and the light is good quality. I’m happy I was able to rescue this betta from a little sad cup and give him this home. I would definitely recommend. I might get another for my office. My daughter wants one too.

Great sized aquarium for something like a Betta fish or any other nano type fish. Everything comes nicely packaged and the accessories are great (filter, light, rocks). Filter is super quiet and can be adjusted for a smoother water flow, which is nice. The size also makes it super easy for water changes/cleaning. I’ve had it for a few months now and I would recommend!

Tiny tank I don’t know if I would put fish in here, but definitely great for shrimps and aquascaping. The plants are thriving. I’ve had no leaks since I purchased in January. The dark background of the tank makes everything in it stand out that much more. I went with black substrates, white decor, and white shrimps. The black and white make the plants even more eye-catching.

Build & Design The quality of the glass is excellent. It features a dark background and comes with a leveling mat already glued to the bottom, which is a great functional detail. The kit is comprehensive, including the light, filter media, lid, and even gravel—a really nice touch that makes it truly "plug and play." There is even enough space to place plant cuttings on top of the tank. Packaging & Delivery I was initially worried about ordering a glass tank for delivery, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was packed incredibly tight and arrived perfectly intact. Verdict I’m very happy with this purchase. It’s a high-quality, sturdy little tank that punches well above its weight class. Whether you are into aquascaping or just need a solid home for a betta, this kit delivers.

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.

This is such a great little aquarium except of course there is very little that can be housed in it. I will be using mine as a nursery for baby/juvenile Rice Fish (Medaka). Otherwise a couple of shrimp or snails is all it will hold. The packaging was perfect, product arrived in good condition. Set up was super easy. I used a finer gravel than it came with, but did use the stones and part of the rougher gravel it came with. You can adjust the flow of water, and I can barely hear the aquarium running. I love the slightly transparent black back as it hides wires, and also makes foreground pop. Has a padded base which is great. Lid is basic, but adequate. Light seems fine, it only has one setting. Note: It does not come with a heater, but I think that’s typical for nano tanks. I really hope due to the success of this tank, they roll out a 5 gallon and a 10 gallon so we can actually house even just a few nano fish or a Betta. (This is too small for a Betta. It would have no swimming space.)

Très bel aquarium à prix compétitif.

Belle aquarium très conforme à la description peux accueillir 3-4 petit poisson j’adore et le filtre fonctionne très bien
