Aqueon Betta Falls 3 Section Aquarium Fish Tank With QuietFlow Power Filtration, Black

I think this product is getting some bad press. I will say it is a bit high maintenance but I think smaller tanks are, in terms of cleaning and care, it just takes a bit more to do. In this case there are three small tanks and a reservoir collection on the bottom. It is visually very pretty to look at and I think if you are looking for unique things you should be willing to put in a little extra time for care. This set was easy to assemble. I fumbled with the lids just a little bit but I figured them out. With the lids in place the grate keeps the fish in place just fine. I placed both a heater in the bottom reservoir and a submersible light. Over the top of the tanks with clear lids I placed a bright white LED goose necked lamp with a light bar. So I can do blue light at night and use the white light to truly see my two bettas and the temporary spot for an African Dwarf Frog who had a place in a bigger aquarium but was being picked on. The flow on the filter is fine for my fish with the center spot perhaps having the calmest water, though my betta are fine in the current. I did have a scare setting it up like other people have talked about, I took the lid off the last bay and using a net put in the final betta and he swam so quick from the net he went in through the waterfall space and down into the reservoir! For a moment I could not find him but thanks to the reviews I knew where he had gone. I found him easily and all is well. I do have tape on the lids because I am concerned about my cat's curiosity but they hold on well enough I am not really that worried. Anyway, this tank is beautiful and my fish are happy. My frog is enjoying his temporary home too. I think there's a possibility of buying another set. I wouldn't let the less happy reviews stop you from buying this product and use that advice only to help you look out for possible problems during assembly and after. I'll update if any problems come up later, but so far I am very pleased.

This is a really great product. first off Aqueon is a great company, I had a animal accident that resulted in the destruction of several pieces to the aquarium. Called Aqueon and they sent me the replacement parts I needed ASAP no questions asked. Second the aquarium looks great on my desk and it has a very quite pump and it is easy to tell when it needs filling or a filter replacement. Lastly is the fact that if you buy multiple units you can place them in a circle and they look great.I've only heard of one complaint and that is that the fish sometime appear stuck against the waterfall. For this I have three responses. The first is that you can adjust the flow rate on the pump to help prevent this (I keep mine at maximum flow rate due to my second point). Second, make sure to have thick vegetation in the tank (I've uploaded a picture of my tank as an example). You need something for the fish to rest in and so I would say it is vital if you intend to put a betta in the tank to use some king of vegetation that the fish can rest in. Third is that the gap for the waterfall is to small for all but the smallest of bettas to fit through. As long as you have fish at least the size of minnows your safe.All in all a great product.

My mother bought this for my daughter as a birthday present. I followed the instructions which were not very good and tried to see the water fill line. But unfortunately, the pump blocked the window, and the tank ended up overflowing all over my daughter's room. So, then I did it again and put in what it said to do. The pump was so loud that we could hear it down in the kitchen. We thought that there is no way my daughter will be able to sleep with this in her room because it is that loud. Then I put more water in it, and it became quieter. By adding more water now if the power goes out it will overflow again. So, we had to put it on a cookie sheet just in case because I did not want her room flooded again. We got the 3 bettas and put them in the tank. We lost one the 1st week. Then we lost another one the 2nd week. I changed the water and followed all instructions. Finally, we decided to stop using this take and move the last betta into a larger single tank and hopefully that betta will survive. Since we got this tank there has been nothing but issues. I would not recommend this until they create a better design for this tank. The light, which was recommended had no light switch, so you had to unplug and plug it back in every time as well.
