Perfect for Beginners and Aquascapers

New to fish keeping? No problem. This desktop aquarium is designed for easy setup and simple care. Add water, insert your filter, and you're ready. No complex plumbing. No special skills needed. Experienced aquascapers love it too—the clear acrylic canvas is perfect for tiny planted tanks or nano shrimp communities.

This tank pairs beautifully with small fish like bettas, guppies, and danios. Shrimp thrive here. Snails do great. You can even create a planted aquascape with live plants and driftwood. The possibilities are endless at this size.

Built for Quiet, Healthy Water

The internal filtration system keeps water clean without annoying noise. Most owners report near-silent operation—perfect for bedrooms and offices. The eco-system design means beneficial bacteria colonize naturally, reducing maintenance. You won't be doing water changes constantly. This tank handles itself once established.

Acrylic is 100% safe for fish and shrimp. No toxic leaching. No chemicals. No off-gassing. The material is completely inert, so water stays pure and healthy from day one. Your fish and inverts will thank you.

Tank Compatibility Notes

Freshwater Setup: Best for tropical fish keeping. Pair with a small heater for bettas or other tropical species. Room temperature is fine for hardy fish like danios and guppies.

Planted Tank: Use nutrient-rich substrate, add some easy plants like java fern and anubias, and let them grow while they filter water naturally. Shrimp and snails help with algae control.

Shrimp Colony: This size is ideal for Red Cherry Shrimp or Amano Shrimp breeding. They need calm water and hiding spots—both easy to create here. Watch baby shrimp grow up in your desktop tank.

Betta Setup: Create the perfect betta home. Add plants and a sponge filter for a calm environment. Bettas appreciate the clear view and quiet operation. No aggressive water current—just peaceful vibes.
