This tank seems like a good, quality starting tank. Setup was easy and it came with everything I needed for my betta fish including water conditioner and food. Unfortunately my fish seemed to think that death was preferable to confinement. When I put first placed him in the the tank he seemed much more lively and active, but soon after I noticed that he seemed to be hiding underneath the filter. Thinking that perhaps the current was too strong, I turned it off while I thought of a way to dampen the current. But when I woke up the next morning to check on him I found that he had wedged himself into the small niche that is formed by the indent in the corner of the filter and died. Disappointing to say the least.
I'm giving the product 3 stars, because no one else has mentioned any sort of similar issue so perhaps my fish was just the William Wallace of its kind, but the indent in the filter seems unnecessary and most sources that I've read seem to think that you don't even really need a filter for betta tanks with less than 5 gallons. Couple that with a fish who prefers tight spaces and it seems like more trouble than it saves.
I'm going to get a second fish and update this review depending on how things go.
