Nice little tank. Wouldn’t keep a Goldfish in it or suggest it for a first tank. But with that said, I love it, a lot of fun for experienced tank keepers. Small is 1.77 Gallons. This review is of the Medium 2.65 Gallons. Large is 5.5 Gallons.

@hoopalumpa Yes it is very strong. I didn’t know about the recall though. Mine is the same model.
Last time i checked Dwarf Gouramis need at least 10 gallons of water.
1 inch per gallon rule is complete bullshit.
Any goldfish needs 20 gallons each just for any comments down there
I have a newer version of this tank that is 3.7 US Gallons (14 L) Do you think this would be a good tank for a temporary home for my yoyo loach and 4 tetra’s while i pull my main 20 Gallon tank apart to fix/clean the undergravel filter?
I don’t use anymore. I like the Mini Clear filter about the best but it’s a little strong for this tank. Great for 10-20 Gallons though.
i have a baby black moor and a nother gld fish about 2 inches (black moor is about 1 inch) it says that it can fit 2 gold fish i am starting to doubt it is it right or is it too small
Hi, where did you buy your heater. It looks like a good one.
i got mine from petsmart today and it was broken in the box…. i wanted two fantail but that’d be way too small for them, even just one so… after i get a new one i’m gonna put two mollies in there. one question though… mine did come with a heater… did you get one and decide on another or did it not come with?
I’ve also had issues with the filter when using it on another smallish glass tank that I have. I can’t get it to stay put. I have tried cleaning the glass of the tank and the suction cups before reattaching them and putting it in the corner for extra support but the whole system keeps tipping to the left with the two left side suction cups coming unattached. Any ideas on how I could prevent this from happening as your filter seems to be staying put just fine 🙂
There are those who say 10 gallons per fish, and also some people say 1 gallon for every inch of fish. I had a goldfish that lived for almost 6 years in a 2.5 gallon tank when I was 11 or 12. I didn’t feed it top shelf food, I didn’t have a top shelf filter, but I loved him and tried my best to take care of him and keep the tank clean. If you can afford it, get a 10 gallon tank and appropriate filtration. If not, try for at least a 5.5 for a short term solution.
i bought a marina cool 14 liter and i bought it to put my triops in it because they have got a little to big for their hatching habitat
your tank has to be a least 10 gallons for the fish you have
That’s a dwarf gourami though?
Does the filter needs to be on at all times? 🙂
I put a goldfish in my memo tank and he’s been in there for about a year and I had no problems with him
There is a 5.5 gallon versions of these.
I just got this one.. Should I put a Betta inside instead?
@supras310: Any tank THIS small would never be good for saltwater fish, you need to be very experienced with aquatic marine fish to do that.
@marcsoyeah goldfish need at least 10 gallon per fish because they produce so much waste or if you could get a pond but nothing under 10
Don’t do it. 10 neon tetras should have at least a 10 gallon with a better filter. They are Tropical not Labrynth and 10 is way too many for this tank.
how do u install the filter??
i used to have one
@reallink2000 well is he eating and clean the tank once a week
I have that one and I have to gold fish in it they have been livening for to years now
I have a goldfish that’s about 4 years old and he’s about 2/12 – 3 inches , it was my sisters but she got over it unfortunately and i took him ..however they have him in a 1.5 gal tank and i know he needs a bigger tank . How many gallons do you or anyone recommend ?
@xVenomMaster actually bettas and gouramis have a larynth organ, so they can breathe air. It is not called lungs. And if you are sure that is what they are called find an articale that says the official name is lungs, and email me the web adress.
I bought my light at PetSmart.
That tank is pretty small for A Dwarf Gourami. I would not suggest putting one in anything smaller then a ten gallon. The “Rule of Thumb” is not a good thing to base on how many fish you can put in a tank, each fish has differnent minimum tank size requirment
i have 3.7G marina fish tank as a breeding tank for my white cloud mountain minnows -.-. also these tanks are to small for any fish to live for but its good to keep dwarf frogs or shrimps or even snails
I have the same tank but it’s blue and has a hole in the top for feeding I am going to make a video on my channel of me changing the water probably on Thursday or friday
That company does make a 5 gal in that style but I’ve only seen them on uk websites
Please respond is your filter marina model i25 a131 internal filter. It was recalled and i just found that out i was wondering if you found that it was too powerful for your fish thank you and please respond!
About a week now. He’s doing good. I named him Labyrinth. I added a Roman statue background also.
You need 20 gals for goldfish.
How much was the whole starter kit?
@astrodroids The 2010 model of the filter was recall i had it running with my gourami’s in it and when i woke up today my gourami” bubbles” was caught in it i unpluged it now he’s floating a the top he’s breathing but floating at the top he’s got blood streaks on his fins too. He won’t swim he’ll bearly eat and he’s almost dead. Stupid filter! I had to give him back to the pet store and he’s in a tank all alone.. if he dosen’t recover the pet store’s going to kill him.
