I have that tank and it’s super good for my double tail male

To the folks complaining about size…. The average consumer buys a beta from a cup, puts water in bowl and keeps it for less than a year before it dies. I applaud Fluval for creating a beautifully designed kit that will help Bettas live a better life. Having an ideal temperature, lighting and filtration is a huge help to achieving that. Well done Fluval - I’ll certainly be purchasing this convenient kit for my daughters room as soon as they’re available in Canada.

I agree that this tank is to small, my male is in a 5 1/2 gallen. However, if the Fluval Betta Premium Aquarium Kit gets the uneducated Betta owners to upgrade their tiny betta fish bowls to this, it is a BIG win.

Very cool! I've had many Fluval tanks, heaters, filters, etc.. This one looks just perfect for anyone who wants a betta. Simple and easy to use. HUGE filter that rarely needs cleaning as long as you don't overfeed. Really an awesome setup, especially with the low flow improvements. I'm sure I'll get one sometime down the line.

My betta is rather tiny and he loves it so much. I can tell by how much color he has just how healthy he has become. When I got him he was a regular sized betta all black, and now he is white/blue and black. All within a week of being in this new tank with a week cycling. Stop being so hard on Fluval, this is a much better tank then you think it is. A+ thank you fluval.

I LOVE my Fluval Betta aquariums! I bought 2, one for each Betta. This is a larger set up than how I originally had them. They are my first betta fish and I have my kits lightly planted with Fluval bio stratum and I am really enjoying this experience. Thank You. This Betta tank is a great reintroduction for me to this hobby. I love my bettas very much.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Fluval! I’ve gone through several tanks over the years, trying to find the best fit for my bettas (that also fits my space). Many failed because the water flow was too strong (I always had to change the setting/make adjustments), and not many came with a heater for the appropriate space, etc… But this model is by far the best out there. Keeping them is a hobby of mine, like so many others, and these fish have been a great way to introduce new hobbyist into the amazing world of fish keeping. Having the tank set that comes with (a heater and a proper filter-which are both crucial for their survival/thriving, is a great way to inform them of the need for it. I hope the past lies that bettas will do fine staying in bowl (I know, sad, but we’ve come a long way in the hobby and now our bettas are thriving, not just surviving) will soon be a thing of the past. This is definitely a step in the right direction and away from the past. I’m currently switching all of my bettas tanks over to this brand. Thanks, again.

He is now in a 6.6G... up from a 1.7G to a 5G to this 6.6G 12" Tall. I didn't like him in the smaller tanks. This 6.6G is a bow front which gives him a bit more width than the 5G.

They should really offer this tank in more sizes

@CarcPazu

They do, they have a 9g, 16g and 32g.

I like the design of the aquarium and the accessories that come with it. What I don't agree with is the rationale given for the small size (clean water). This clearly doesn't mimic the natural environment of Betta splendens. Their water is shallow, but with a lot of surface area. Based on my experience with a 20 gallon long, clean water is quite easy to achieve in a larger aquarium. For new fish hobbyists, a smaller tank might be easier to maintain, but only if they do the same kind of regular maintenance that more experienced hobbyists do (cycle aquarium initially, then regular water changes, clean substrate and clean filter media).

I love the look of the tank. I have my male, long-finned betta, Renfield, in a 9 gal Flex. It's just about the perfect size for him. The only "modification" I made was baffling the flow by putting filter floss behind the Y connector water return. Just my opinion...I think anything under 5 gal is too small. Too hard to maintain water quality, especially for newbies, who don't understand the nitrogen cycle.

@michaelfox6820

I made the same flow modification as you did in my Fluval Flex 15. The larger size makes it suitable to add some nano fish to the betta tank, though I think you could do the same with the 9 gallon version. Doing so of course depends on the disposition of the betta.

As a long time fancy goldfish keeper, I've been researching bettas as an addition to my Goldie's. This tank seemed a bit small, but I liked that all the components were included and I trust Fluval's quality. I was suddenly thrust into Betta ownership this weekend when I won two in a raffle at an aquarium convention. 😳 My local fish shop gave me a great deal on two tanks, although fish-in cycling isn't the greatest thing to do. My question is about the diffusion chamber. On the one tank, water goes through it back into the tank, but on the other one some of the water goes over the top of the chamber instead of through it. I've tried adjusting the water level, but ended up diverting water over the whole tank so it was going on the floor. Any clues what may be happening? Other than that, George and Martha (they are red, white and blue) seem to be enjoying their new surroundings, are eating well and are curious already, so I think the tank size is fine. I share a very small apartment with my husband, so anything larger is out of the question for me.

Hi there! We're thrilled to hear you've been satisfied with your Betta kits so far, and that your fish seem to enjoy them! With regards to your question about water coming out of the top of the diffusion chamber, first, verify that the diffusion chamber pad does not require rinsing or replacement. Next, verify that the diffusion chamber is fully seated in position, as water may spill out the top and back into the rear filtration compartment if it is not. If necessary, insert the tubing deeper onto the diffuser chamber neck to ensure the diffusion chamber is in the correct position.

We just bought it and it is really well made. But I have a question on the water pump. The water pump flow is adjustable, what is the best setup. My Betta stays on the water intake and do not move from there often. Should I put the pump to the lower setting ?

@fluval

2 жыл бұрын

If you've just purchased your Betta, it will likely take it a couple of weeks to develop its muscles and get better at swimming. Once it does, you'll see it resting against the intake much less. We recommend setting the pump to the highest setting, as the diffusion chamber does a very efficient job of dispersing the flow!

I have two of these and they are great for a solo special needs female betta but It's pretty well covered that a 5 Gallon would be better. Also with the heater I was getting 83-84 inside the tank itself which is too hot for a betta, 80 degrees is the right temp to keep them at, 82 if they are sick but even that for long term speeds up the metabolism and shortens their life. 83-84 even more so.

@@leo2o915 So you have to think about fish as a cold blooded species. Bettas can survive in 84 degree water and they can survive in 72 degree water. The standard is 78-80 being the ideal range for them. They can do great at 82 but the extra temp is speeding up their metabolism making them need more food, and shortening their lifespan. 82 is great for helping prevent certain parasitic diseases but over the long term it can cause a shorter life.

I am cleaning the pad every day. I have replaced the pad several times. Does not make a difference for me. Yes the diffusion chamber slow down the water flow for the Betta's but it also stop any water movement on the top of the water. Putting a air stone in the tank defeats the reason for the diffusion chamber so what do people do? I have several of these tanks and they are amazing. My betta's have never looked better but this diffusion chamber is a real problem when it comes to water movement on the service.

Hi Chuck! It's normal for surface films to develop in the Fluval Betta Kit - as you correctly pointed out, the slower water flow is great for the fish, but also reduces surface agitation. We have a few suggestions: 1. Bettas don't generally mind if there's a surface film, so you don't actually need to worry about it too much. 2. Adding floating plants helps to prevent the formation of surface films. 3. Remember that surface films come from cooking, dust accumulation, oils on your skin, and fish food. Trying to reduce the introduction of these things (with the exception of fish food!) can help reduce the intensity of the surface film that develops. 4. Surface films can be manually removed with a fine fish net or a paper towel.

Please understand that I am not knocking your suggestions but there are those of us that do not care for that film on the top of our tanks even if the Betta's do not mind. If Fluval has put all this design work into this Betta tank you would have thought they would have addressed the problem. I am not a newbie to fish tanks. From my Discus to my Oscars, to my Betta's these Fluval Betta tanks are by far my most maintained tanks. You pointed out that the Betta's don't mind the film. Okay? Then you said floating plants. My tanks are all plated. The floating plants do nothing but move it around. They do not eliminate it. At least not in my case. Then the cooking, dust, oils on skin, and food. My fish room is down in my basement. All but the cooking are good point since the kitchen is upstairs but there is airborne from the stove. Anything is possible but I'm on the fence about the stove. I do not over feed my fish so that leaves dust and oils. Last the net and paper towels. I have done the net but not the paper towel. Maybe I was asking to change my stars. This is by far the best set up I have had for my Betta's to date. The slower moving waters are ideal for them. But this diffusion chamber was not one of Fluval's better idea for moving the water on the surface of the tank. Maybe Fluval did not find it a problem. Film on the top of there show room tanks. I think Fluval should have addressed the problem! I'm back to the drawing board. Thank you again for responding to my post.

What makes you think it’s too small ? Let me guess the internet 😂

I won't say that a betta would not be happy in this because in reality I really don't see much wrong with this size of tank. Going from a tiny cup to 2.6 gallons of filtered and heated swimming space is great! I do however wish this also came in a 5 gallon version and then I would buy it.

Atleast a 5 gallon bro

This is great for betta keepers learning about space confinement. Small tanks are not for any fish besides nano species. !!! 20 plus year keepers, this is just another product to be consumed by newbies. What is the par of your light source, can only grow low light plants ? How come , you guys don’t have natural bio tope set ups ? All these question 🙋‍♂️. But I no , it’s out of your hands I guess… When does the consumer have a choice. You no the people that buy your stuff. Who is in charge of creating the same thing ? You no, if fluval would just take one minute. To consult the KZread community. You would unstoppable. Fire your product and design teams. ASAP. Do you guys not follow trends for sales 🤫🤭 it’s kinda laughable 🤣

consult the YT community over other experts? so you are saying either they didn't consult experts, or that you're smarter than the people they have access to.

Ok betta experts, this is still better than a tiny cup.

I laughed way too hard at this hahhah

There’s a pet i in Stlwtr

I’ll probably put a few chili rasboras and cherry shrimp in this tank instead

I like where you guys are going with it. But can be make 5 gallons the minimum requirement for betta tank. The minimalistic, cube structure is to my liking.. just need more room for my fish. So close.

I’m gonna get this for scrimps

Please consider creating a 5 gallon version. I would pay for it.

Unfortunately this still isn't suitable your fluval flex 34L is a better tank for Betta fish and as usually newcomers start with a Betta because of how pretty they are they won't have as much knowledge with water parameters which is a lot harder to do on a small tank like 10L. If you had made a Betta tank that was at least 25L and then potentially a 100L long tank for a sorority still too small but better than nothing then it would be perfect 😊

Bad sales practices when almost every Betta guide and expert says at least 5 gallons is ideal.

This is just internet group think. Betta can do fine in a 3 gallon tank as long as you are meeting all their specific needs.

In a perfect world everyone who gets a betta for the first time can get this tank

These look amazing, If I had room I would have 4 or 5 of these.

I recommend a 5 gallon and $100 US is ridiculous for this. For beginners Aqueon rimless 10 gallon $40, Nicrew light $20 or $30, aquarium coop Sponge filter $8 or $10. Way cheaper than this and bigger.

Hi Tony! You're still missing a lid and a heater in that list. Furthermore, beginners aren't ready to assemble tank kits themselves by purchasing individual components - they're beginners! This is an all-in-one kit that makes the process of caring for a Betta straightforward for new hobbyists. ✌

@@fluval I was able to get the Aquatop Pisces Bullet 5 gallon ( added a heater and sponge filter to lower the flow) cheaper than this 2.6 gallon. especially if you wait for the sales and there is actually room for the fish to swim. Your SpecV is a much better option for a betta tank -you just need to add the heater and a sponge to make the flow slower. As a beginner, I would rather a company sell what is best for my fish because you don't always have help at the larger box stores and I would think that tank was great if there was a picture of a betta on it. It's extremely misleading. A beginner may not realize how hard it is to keep the water parameters at a good level in a small tank.

Nice tank but not for a Betta. Should have been at least 4.5-5 gallons with a better width.

Hi, thanks for your comment! We appreciate everyone’s opinion on the subject of the “ideal” Betta aquarium. A larger, 5 US Gal aquarium is more expensive and more intimidating for new hobbyists. In our opinion, a 2.6 US Gal / 10 L is a good “entry point” for captive-bred B. splendens, and will help steer new fishkeepers away from unfiltered, unheated cups.

@@fluval If the new hobbyist knew the truth that it is super hard to keep the water parameters stable in a small tank and it is also easy to overheat the aquarium and fry their fish they would probably choose to do what is right for their new fish! The customer is trusting your company to do what is right and you know better! I was the person that bought a small tank for a betta before I did my research and it actually makes me upset to think a company would mislead me like that!

@@user-mo4wt9gk9y As a worker at a fish store, you don’t know how stubborn customers are. Many still believe bettas do fine in bowls with no heater or filter under 1 gallon. Many of them consider a 5 gallon tank large. This is by no means a good permanent kit for a betta but it sure is better than an unfiltered, unheated vase, and ultimately, it works as a good entry point for people not comfortable having more room for their aquariums. Customers get mad that the pet stores don’t give the right info, and while there is some accuracy to that, many customers are also not willing to listen

No! That tank is way too small for a betta. In fact, the Fluval Flex is much better suited for keeping a betta, you just have to adjust the flow on it....

These tanks are suited toward LONG finned bettas, as they find it very hard to swim. Short finned bettas should probably have a five gallon or larger, but considering the average buyer is a middle aged lady putting it in a bowl, and showing it off as a decoration.

Super excellent condition I am india

Good grief. Everyone complaining about the tank size. Comparatively speaking, this tank is a veritable _lake_ compared to the cups that often house Betta's in retail stores. Furthermore, if you simply add a small air stone then you basically have a Pea Puffer tank. Well done Fluval. Stay classy my friends.

keeping betta in cups is terrible. luckily they dont sell them like this here in the netherlands. however i think this is a fair point; why to go in all the effort to make a tank especially suitable for keeping betta and then do everything thoughtful and great but then keep them in this too small of a tank. animal welfare is getting a bigger topic day by day, as a company producing fish enclosures, this trend should be considered when debating about the size of the tank

The size of a tank should not be based off of a small cup that should be banned as well. It is irresponsible to sell a product to the public and not think of the quality of life of the fish that has to live in it!

Hi Bethany, thanks for your comment! The captive-bred varieties of Betta splendens available are slow moving fish, and they're not particularly good swimmers. In larger tanks with more powerful filtration, the fish are often blown around by the current, and will seek to bite off their fins to reduce weight. The Betta aquarium kit is large enough to provide ample swimming space for a single Betta, yet small enough to feature suitably gentle filtration and adequate heat dispersion.

I think that a starting tank size should be 5 galleons, so Fluval should not make a tank any smaller. Fish comfort should come first rather then profit $ I would love to see Fluval make a mini canister for a 5 gallon tank rather then waste tank space for a built in system.

Your a fish manufacturer, you know better…. Betta in a small tank… be betta… some bettas grow up to 2.5… near 3 inches… that 2.5 is only suitable for a female betta under 1 inch.. or a small very long finned male Bettas jump… hole in lid And tank too large … poor excuse for water movement… use a sponge filter… or does that not have enough cartridges for you ??
