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.

((Update below original review)) Prior to purchase and after reading some reviews, I thought I would have to put blockers in between the tank outputs to prevent the bettas from getting into the other tanks... To prevent this KEEP THE LIDS ON - the lids have built-in grates that prevent this. Water flow - TURN that little pump all the way DOWN (default is all the way high, low & high marked on the pump). Put a small submersible heater in the bottom (unless your room temperature is 76-80), it fits and there is an opening for the cord - pump cord fits through it as well. The tank is quiet - initially, I was worried because of the "waterfall" in the last compartment, but as long as the water level is at the "Max" line - all is quiet! Note that initial filling was done by adding water halfway to each compartment and the filter reservoir, turning on the pump and then raising water level until Max reached (Max water level indicated on the front of Betta Falls). The filter cartridge is "Aqueon QuietFlow Filter Cartridge, Medium," (available for purchase on Amazon or at Petco). I added live plants and I'm letting the tank cycle before adding bettas (about a week). The water flow (dialed down to low) is not pushing the plants around, so it's enough to keep the water circulated with the heater. I'll edit this review after adding bettas if there are any problems, though I don't expect any. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 7/16/18 Update Made some modifications to the tank (photos attached). I took some thin plastic grate (purchased from a home improvement store, very cheap), cut it, and secured it over the grates with small zip ties. I did this because the betta in the first tank was getting his tail sucked through (he was staying in the tank, but unable to move). This modification fixed that. I went ahead and moved this particular betta to the last tank because he's small and the flow there is the least. I also affixed the plastic grate in the last tank. The middle betta is perfectly fine and did not have any trouble, however, I added the plastic grate to his tank as well just in case. I trimmed his grate to just below the water release point though because the longer grate was creating more of a suction and he spends more time at the top. I recommend putting a larger betta in the first tank. The older betta I moved there is completely happy. I do turn off the filter to feed them (left off for about five minutes). The leaves in the photos are Indian Almond Leaves (beneficial to bettas and lowers the ph naturally).

When I recieved this I was very happy because this looks very nice and I was able to put 3 of my male Betta's together, the aquarium is very eye pleasing. And the following day I went to greet them as usual before I start my day and notice 1 of my male Betta's missing, I thought what the heck?!, I thought that maybe it might of jumped out of it's container so I looked all over and nothing, then I noticed the filter was off which was weird since the filter was working properly last night... I decided to lift up the empty container and there was my Betta in the holding tank of water! I scooped him up with my fishnet and after I put him back into his container I noticed his Finns looked all chopped up!😭😭😭😔, my beautiful Betta... went through the water fountain to the bottom tank, he is still alive and now I have him quarantined and giving him medicine for relief and hopefully his finns will grow back in time. I returned because of this experience, as a lover of animals including fish, this hurt seeing that my beautiful betta ended up looking like this, like I said time will tell if his Finns will grow back with medication I'm giving him..... I have a total of 5 Male Betta and 6 Female Betta's, I love the beauty of these fish and enjoy watching how they come to me when I either am going to feed them or just getting near to say hi to them❤️ the female Betta's are all in a 10 gallon aquarium and live together just fine along with some Tettras for company, it may have been a fluke that this happened, but anyone who wants to purchase just be aware that it could happen..... P.S. I do want to add, the water flow WAS gentle and I also had water plants near the fountain where water flows in each tank and a plant where they can rest over it, it is very eye pleasing as I stated when I began writing the review, I just didn't want to risk my other Betta's being injured too.....

Alright so Theres aloooot of mixed reviews, but here's the info in point form Cons - smaller homes for each individual fish than I would normally like -thats it. Theres only con Pros - great design, the water cascades from one home to the next, then the last one cascades inward, towards the bottom, where the reserve tank is. This is a very smart design, as after reading all the mixed reviews on this tank, went out and bought another tank that was a bit bigger, with three homes for three Bettas , and the reveserve tank was on the back of all the tanks, and when I'd stop the tank from filtering water for the day to give the Bettas a break, and eat, water would dribble down the sides, and there was nowhere for the water to flow and so it leaked. Constantly. No matter what I did. -so if you're looking for a Betta tank that holds three Bettas, without having to worry if you'll come home to water all over your floors/desk etc. This is the tank. - also once you get it running it's super quiet. ( Again comparing to the first tank I bought, where you couldn't hear yourself think over the sound of it) - and the water flow IS adjustable. But even if the flow was less than a trickle, I still wouldn't keep it on all the time as Bettas are stillwater fish, so if you love your fish at all, you'll turn it on for about an hour or so a day just to filter the water and them let them relax the rest of the day. :)

Die Lieferung war schneller als erwartet, das Aquarium ist natürlich neu und voll funktionsfähig, wunderschön und wirklich etwas Besonderes. Einziger Hinweis des Verkäufers fehlt, dass die Pumpe einen Adapter für die Steckdosen benötigt, da nicht für Ö oder D passt. Jedoch kann man eine eigene kleine Pumpe verwenden - das ist kein Problem und genug Platz vorhanden und gut, denn dadurch kann man jederzeit das elektronische Teil austauschen, wenns mal irgendwann kaputt gehen sollte. Daher denke ich, das Aquarium hat eine sehr lange Lebensdauer. Es ist schlicht aber stabil gebaut - es wurde auch an alles gedacht und ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen! Wer was in dieses kleine Aquarium reinsetzt ist jedem selber überlassen!!!

El producto y diseño son excelentes y muy hermosos para decoración. Para un buen cuidado de peces betta el espacio es reducido. Si realmente quieres una buena vida para el pez recuerda comprar el calentador automático (regular temperaturade agua de 25 a 30°, plantas vivas y sustrato o grava naturales (sin colorantes). En general me encantó, sería conveniente que hicieran productos más grandes que ayuden a darle más espacio a los peces y alargar su vida.

Item arrived with a U.S power plug hardwired to the pump. The pump has no C/E or vertification on it nor does it state the voltage required and if it is in fact a dual 110v/240v pump. Honestly, I am not even going to use it, I am going to put it all back in the box and hope I can get $50 for it.

海外製品で敬遠しがちでしたが うん いい商品です プラスチック製ですが何の問題もありません まだ立ち上げてはいませんが ヒーター、ライト、エアーを設置するスペースも十分ありますし配線等も取り回ししやすいです モーターの電源だけは日本用のアダプターが必要ですね 抱き合わせにしてもいいかも 2019/5/29 運用して暫く経ちました 照明に悩み水中ライトを利用しています 意外にメンテナンス性もよく、填まっている部分を抜けば取り外せるので楽に清掃出来ます うん、やっぱいい商品ですよ
