FAQs

What is the size of the aquarium?

The aquarium measures 27cm in length, 17cm in width, and 16.5cm in height.

Can I use this tank for goldfish?

This tank is too small for goldfish, which require much larger volumes of water and produce significant waste. It is best suited for very small fish species.

Does the kit include a filter?

No, the starter kit does not include a filter. For the long-term health of your fish, it is highly recommended to add a small, appropriate filter.

How do I clean the plastic tree and gravel?

You can rinse them under lukewarm tap water during a water change. Avoid using soap or detergents, as these can be harmful to fish.

What colors are available for the lid?

The lid is available in a choice of four colors.

Is it safe to use the included gravel?

Yes, the included colored gravel is safe for aquariums. Ensure you rinse it thoroughly before adding it to the tank.

How often should I feed my fish?

Generally, fish should be fed small amounts once or twice a day. Only feed what they can consume within 2-3 minutes to avoid overfeeding.

Troubleshooting

Tank appears cloudy after setup

This is often due to the initial bacterial bloom. Allow the tank a few days to settle. Ensure you are not overfeeding and perform small water changes if necessary.

Fish appear lethargic or stressed

Check water parameters (temperature, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) if a test kit is available. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid overcrowding. Confirm water changes are being performed regularly.

Algae growth on tank walls

Reduce the amount of light the tank receives and clean the walls with a soft cloth or algae scraper during water changes. Do not use soap or harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete starter kit for beginners
  • Includes decorative elements (tree, gravel)
  • Features a practical feeding window
  • Good ventilation for fish health
  • Available in multiple color choices

Cons

  • Basic setup may require supplementary equipment for optimal fish care
  • Plastic construction may not be as durable as glass aquariums
  • Limited size suitable only for small fish or as a temporary habitat

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Rinse the tank, gravel, and plastic tree with clean water (do not use soap).
  2. Place the colored gravel at the bottom of the tank.
  3. Arrange the plastic tree decoration.
  4. Fill the tank with dechlorinated water.
  5. Introduce your chosen fish once the water is stable and cycled (if using a filter).

Compatibility:

This tank is best suited for small, hardy fish species that do not require a large swimming space or complex filtration. Examples include small guppies, Endler's livebearers, or a single Betta fish. It is not recommended for goldfish or other species that grow large or produce significant waste.

Care:

  • Perform partial water changes (20-25%) weekly using dechlorinated water.
  • Wipe the inside and outside of the tank with a clean, damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the feeding window is securely closed after use.
  • Clean the decorative tree and gravel periodically during water changes to prevent algae buildup.
