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.

Was told 30 day window had expired and only option was to return it for a replacement. How is that helpful? Where was I going to stick a fish in? Not impressed or helpful at all
Rosie Magoo (Beta fish) loves it!
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.

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.

Lo que no me gustó es que con la tapa puesta la pecera condensa muchísimo y se huele el orificio de alimentación no es tan grande para evitar la condensación
