Aqueon Betta Falls 3 Section Aquarium Fish Tank With QuietFlow Power Filtration, Black

I was really leery about getting this tank, but I am SO glad I did! I honestly don't know why people have said it's loud & the current is too strong... Mine has neither issue! The motor is whisper quiet and on the lowest setting, the current is fine. Maybe people didn't put enough water in the reserve? Idk. Don't let people's negative reviews that say their fish got sucked down to the next tank deter you from buying this tank. Do the additions as a lot of people have suggested and you will love it just as much as I love mine!! **Update 2/13/17** I made the necessary addition to eliminate the "gap" that everyone mentioned and it works just fine. I found single sheets of plastic canvas mesh at Joann Fabrics for under $2, even though I only used a small portion. I got one with bigger squares to help with water flow, and I'm glad I did. The water in the first tank is higher than the other 2 tanks, but I think had the squares in the mesh been smaller, it would have stopped up the water too much. I adhered it to the side of the tank with super glue, which happens to be water resistant. I did notice that the current was pretty strong for my betta in the 2nd tank, as his fin would go through the slots when I had the tank plugged in. I just did what I did for the other side with the canvas mesh and he's much happier. He actually likes to chill up on the mesh, as opposed to swimming around. With the canvas mesh additions, I've noticed that the water flowing between the 2nd & 3rd tanks has gotten louder. I'm not thrilled with it, but it is more than tolerable. It sounds like a waterfall, which is the point of the tank overall. It's pretty relaxing, in my opinion! **Update 3/29/17** Added photos and also to show that my fish are all still doing great! I cleaned the tanks and replaced the filter (found a 3 pack at Petsmart for $14). It was certainly a bit of a hassle to do, but I had also really let mine get nasty before I finally took care of it lol. Also, I didn't mention before that I do unplug the filter when I feed my fish. Otherwise, the food just drops to the bottom with the flow of the water. Just an FYI! Photo explanations: 1. Front view (fish names top to bottom: 1 - Bubbles, 2 - Kaner, 3 - Drago. Just for fun :)) 2. Side angle 3. Showing the desk lamp I purchased from Walmart (it was around $8 I believe and is LED). 4.

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. 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.

I received as a gift, read the reviews to figure out the plus and minuses of the tank. It took me a month or so to actually set up but I really like the tank. Some of the negatives are correct and some are not. The positives is it does really display nicely. I have a beta in each section and they are doing well. The negative is it is more high maintenance than a normal tank. Not so much due to it's size but rather it loses water through evaporation rather quickly since it is not a closed system. For the filter to run correctly, it really needs to be at the max level and I have to fill it about every 2 days. The other negative is it is only good for beta fish and a crab or something (another review says) which is true due to it's size. Now some of the misconceptions that other reviews mentioned or maybe the design has been modified since their reviews, the fish WILL not get swept into the next section, there are grates built into the lids to stop that so if properly installed, they will not. I did have the bottom section fish go into the bottom twice but that was because the lid was not installed correctly. The power of the filter is not that bad if set low and I find the fish adjust fine to it. They do need time to adjust. I do have beta leafs strategically placed at the outflow of the 3 tanks to help the betas from getting swept into the grates but I do not feel I really need to do it now. I do follow the previous reviewers advice and do not run the filter 24/7. I actually run the filter twice a day between feedings for up to 5 hours during the day and in the evening 2 hours. I do turn it off at night so they can "rest" at night however it has accidently been left on all night before and they seemed fine. I do turn it off for feeding as the food. Flake food will get pushed into the tank just like a full size and float throughout and will get swept into the next eventually. I have fed the beta pellets while the filter is on and they do not get pushed around that much. I use both at various times of the day. I do clean the individual tanks but clean the filter only (I have not tried to buy a replacement filter so do not know about that yet). As far as heater, I just used a beta heater and it goes in the bottom which works great but remember, you cannot put the tank in a cold location because the heated water only goes into their individual tanks if you keep the filter running all the time. One person commented about using a timer for the filter which I have done but to refill it, you need the filter running to see how low the water level is. For lighting, I am using an outside like that attaches to one of the tanks but moved it to the filter tower (more evaporation) as where ever you attach it, the lid to that section does not lay flat. Maybe a true separate light would be better to keep the system more enclosed but if you do not have much room, the attached light does not take up more. Overall, I really like it. I would recommend getting it completely as I say it is higher maintenance, it is but we are talking a few minutes every other day or two which is more than other tanks but really is nominal in a day.

My mother bought this for my daughter as a birthday present. I followed the instructions which were not very good and tried to see the water fill line. But unfortunately, the pump blocked the window, and the tank ended up overflowing all over my daughter's room. So, then I did it again and put in what it said to do. The pump was so loud that we could hear it down in the kitchen. We thought that there is no way my daughter will be able to sleep with this in her room because it is that loud. Then I put more water in it, and it became quieter. By adding more water now if the power goes out it will overflow again. So, we had to put it on a cookie sheet just in case because I did not want her room flooded again. We got the 3 bettas and put them in the tank. We lost one the 1st week. Then we lost another one the 2nd week. I changed the water and followed all instructions. Finally, we decided to stop using this take and move the last betta into a larger single tank and hopefully that betta will survive. Since we got this tank there has been nothing but issues. I would not recommend this until they create a better design for this tank. The light, which was recommended had no light switch, so you had to unplug and plug it back in every time as well.

((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).

Beautiful Aquarium Kit. Very nice display piece for my office as it looks like a work of art. Muddled side panels keep the fish in each tank from seeing each other (a must for Bettas for those unaware). Gentle "waterfall" effect from tank to tank. Noisy if the water level gets too low, but if kept up, this shouldn't be an issue for quiet spaces. Pump is sturdy (but see issues below). Easy to maintain with replaceable filters. Just have to do a full clean once a month as it will get algae\schmutz from regular use. Issues: *Pump is too strong and was forcing the bettas to hide in the corner to avoid the flow and getting pushed around. Had to turn it off until I had to jury rig a fix whereby I used a clamp to lower the amount going up the feed tube to lessen the water flow. Still had to turn it off for feeding time because the food would either go down the waterfall into the next tank or get stuck on the rim where the bettas won't go (again because of the flow). The next model that comes out needs a flow regulator switch with pressure options on it. *Space is lacking. It's really hard to decorate the tanks with anything as they are very small spaces. Would be nice if they were a bit larger for both more decor and for the bettas to have more freedom (although I know this would kind of ruin the size appeal of the aquarium). All in all, the unit is very nice, but needs improvement on the next model that comes out. If they can add some fixes (and increase the size of the tanks), I would look at purchasing it again. "C+\B-" Rating.

I got this on christmas for my three fish because my other tanks broke and I was super excited to try it out. It was going pretty well until my oldest fish was acting strange and the next day I went to go feed her and she was dead. I wouldn't blame the fish tank though. It was good after that except my fish in the first compartment was being pushed to the ground by the filter and would often hang by the top and after a few days he was dead too. the only fish left was cheesecake who was at the last section. overall I wouldn't buy it again because it is a pain to clean and algae was everywhere.too small for fish. DO NOT BUY!

Ok, so at first I was going to return this item. I opened it.. realized it did not come with the lights I had seen it displayed with and had won me over to actually purchasing it!!! I was furious. Then I noticed it says it right on the box -_- lights sold separately. So I was like whatever I'll just buy the lights as well. THEN I continued to set it up and add my three gorgeous crown tail betas. To my horror when I came back to check on them 10 minutes later the betta in the first tank had somehow slipped into the second tank!! I was mortified but thank GOODNESS neither better had realized they were in the same enclosure. I quickly scooped him up and returned him to the first tank and turned the filter off to stop the water flow. I proceeded to review comments and opinions on this tank and found that MANY people had this same problem. I called Aqueon and reported my unfortunate disappointment with this tank to which they said sorry and actually sent me some products through the mail for my trouble. The representative also gave me some advice on how to prevent this from happening again. So here is my review.. I LOVE THIS TANK! Its beautifully elegant and is just a treat to look at. It hold about 3 gallons of water and can hold a mini heater plus the lights on the bottom reservoir (below the three tanks) with no problem. People are saying that its not enough room bro bettas or that it'll stress them out by seeing each other, poppy cock, the sides are frosted so the betas DO NOT interact and they really are not that small.. most people keep bettas in far worse conditions. VERY IMPORTANT: Now to prevent what happened to me and many others this is how you go about setting up your gorgeous better falls. Be SURE to add AT THE LEAST one plant to each container to significantly decrease the water flow (bettas hate that darn flow) and also be SURE to turn the flow on all the way down (adjustable at the pump). If you do that right you should have a pristine setup and happy betas. There is also complaints on the food being flushed to the bottom before the bettas can eat it, if you've properly placed the plants in the way of the flow this is not an issue.. and if it is you have too strong of a current and need to either reposition your plants or turn the flow off while feeding. Hope this helps!

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
