What are GloFish(R)?

GloFish(R) were originally bred to help scientists in detecting environmental pollutants. By adding a naturally derived fluorescence gene to the fish, scientists hoped to quickly and easily determine when a waterway was contaminated. Scientists soon realized the public’s interest in sharing the benefits of this research and GloFish(R) were officially brought into the marketplace.

GloFish(R) acquire their fluorescent color via a fluorescent protein gene that they inherit from their parents and pass on to their offspring through traditional breeding. Because of this, each line of GloFish(R) originates from a single fish. For example, all Starfish Red Danios are descended from a single red fluorescent zebrafish.

Filter is absolutely silent!
So last time I bought a tank simular to this one for a betta was back in college. I recalled the filter having a slight hum to it and expected this one to be the same since some reviews complained of that but I was willing to put up with it. I was greatly surprised to hear absolutely nothing come from the filter after the initial split second of fill up. Our friend Totoro loves it and follows us happily around his new home and even quickly figured out where the current is so he likes to hop in and out of it in a sort of game. It's not too strong for him at all and I like how the black backdrop gives it way more depth. The backdrop has no adhesive on it so you will need to use tape that is not included. There are also no extra filters so make note of the filter size and brand before tossing the package. Setup took about 5 minutes minus decorations so it's a great tank for beginners or those without a lot of time. I used a gallon and a litre of pre-conditioned water and it came up to the perfect height. Light looks nice and works great so far.

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024
Bought this to downsize from a much larger tank since the kids promised to take care of the larger tank, clean it etc. That lasted 2 weeks so here we are...This tank is the perfect size for our fish and a few decorations. As you can see, the self cleaning aspect is great! No build up after a few weeks and instructions were easy to follow. Highly recommend this tank. It is also very quiet and also doubles as a cute night light!

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018
This tank is beautiful but it has its flaws first off the plastic isn't as ft as I would like it to be and would crack easily if not handled with care. Second I really do not like the blue light because it is Harsh on beta they do not like fluorescent lights because it hurts their eyes every time I had the blue light on my betta with flail around and hide inside the cave but when I bought another light that was just a normal white he seemed to be okay and swim perfectly normal. The filter sucks! It dose not work very well and is making a strange grinding sound.
The good about the tank is that is shipped very fast and was in good condition except for the sides will a little bit scratched but that didn't bother me really well since it was going against a shelf anyway. My beta seems happy and the tank is plenty of room for any normal size beta.

Reviewed in Mexico on January 4, 2019
El producto llego en tiempo y forma de acuerdo a las políticas de Amazon en su empaque sin presentar en su exterior algún detalle de maltrato.
respecto a la urna de 1.5 galones es de suficiente espacio ( como espacio mínimo) para tener en buenas condiciones al pez Betta que se muestra en la 2da imagen aunque bien se podrían tener algunos pocos peces Glofish para lo que fue diseñada..

el filtro y su cabeza de poder es lo suficientemente buena para mantener la pecera, hay que buscar recambios de cartuchos pero estos no son nada costosos en amazon.
la luz tal vez pudiese ser mejor en cuanto a distribución ya que sus 8 leds azules se concentran mucho en el centro del acuario, por lo que las decoraciones gloFish brillan mas las que se ubican en el centro y se pierde un poco el efecto en las ubicadas en la periferia del mismo.
la urna de Acrílico, es de buen grosor. limpio y recibido sin ningún rasguño. Sin embargo recordemos que es acrílico y si no se tienen el correcto cuidado con su limpieza.. como cualquier pieza de acrílico se rallara invariablemente. asi que hay que tener en mente este detalle estético que en un inicio no nos causara problema.
la grava y las decoraciones y el calefactor se tuvieron que comprar aparte costando casi el aproximado al precio en oferta de la pecera mismo. pero esto de explica desde el empaque del producto ( grava y decoración no incluido) , un calentador de 7.5 watts plano me es suficiente para mantener el calor de la pecera.
