Question 1

Since bettas naturally live in puddles and still water, won't the waterfall feature upset them even if the grate is fixed to prevent tank "visitors"?

Accepted Answer

I have this tank and it’s cool but as soon as we went to clean is it was a mess. Normally I  do a 20 percent water change and this makes u do 50. Also my bettas have hated the flow of the tank and I’m in the process of getting new tanks for all 3 bettas

Question 2

can I put 3 tetras in one of these 3 tanks?

Accepted Answer

Most tetra species get more than 1.5 inches each at adult size. Some species of tetras getting up to 4.5 inches adult size. Putting tetras in this small of a tank is not recommended, because it will stunt them pretty bad and will shorten their life span. Professionally we recommend tetras to be in no less than 10 gallons. They do best in schools of 4 to 6 or more and need to be kept between 78-80 degrees as they are prone to stress and disease if kept in cooler water. Avid tetra owner for 15 years. Just my two cents.

Question 3

is it a big tank

Accepted Answer

Bettas are one or the most abused fish.  It should be in a tank no less than 5 gallons.  it is a pet not a desk ornament

Question 4

What type of filtration cartridge replacements does this take? Can I have a name or link to them?

Accepted Answer

I don't use the replacement cartridges anymore. I bought filter sponges that filled the filter compartment and bio max. I haven't had to replace either, just to be the sponge with tank water occasionally. If the water is cloudy I'll add some carbon for a few weeks.

I've had this tank for over 2 years now. I lost 2 fish early on (one I think was stressed by the current before I modified, and the other somehow jumped out--also before I modified--but the third (a female) has been thriving and recently celebrated her second birthday. The other 2 fish I have now are doing well and I've had them for over a year. with modifications to weaken the current, a heater and allowing it to cycle i am happy (and my fish seem happy and thriving) with this tank. But out of the box--I don't recommend it.
