Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This fish tank is much better than any starter tanks you will find in the pet store - and the price can't be beat. PROS: * large enough for a betta to swim around and have some space * great design, perfect for offices, kid's rooms, or anywhere else you'd like to put it * cordless!!!! My tank is for my office, which has VERY limited outlet space * the light is bright and makes the tank look beautiful * the light is exterior to the tank, which means that little splashes of water will not get inside the light to damage it (see photos). I've had many fish tanks before, and a damaged light from prolonged water exposure is the worst * the light runs on batteries, and there is also a space for you to plug it in. I've read in other reviews that the plug can charge the batteries, but I haven't tested that theory yet. My Kindle charger fits, so you shouldn't have to buy a whole new cord just to charge the light. You probably already have something around the house that matches. * easy to clean * the light can be used on the top of the tank or on the bottom (I put mine on the top, but I imagine it would look beautiful on the bottom if I had jewel rocks) CONS: * there are plastic bumps at the bottom of the tank, to hold the light in place if you want to put the light on the bottom. These bumps make it impossible to place artificial plants with large bases in the tank. Both of my plants are placed near the front of the tank to avoid the bumps, and I'd rather have the plants near the back. You can see the bumps in the photos (the bumps are exactly the same on the bottom of the tank as they are on the top of the tank). HOWEVER - the pros for this tank greatly outweigh the cons. I loved this tank so much, I ordered a second tank for my co-worker. She currently has a betta in a much smaller tank, and I know he'd be happier in this one.
