I’m giving the tank 5 stars because the tank is great. I’d give the transaction with Petco ZERO stars though. The problem is with THIS Petco listing for the tank. Item description says it included a 2.5 gallon tank, I recieved a 1 gallon tank.
I contacted Petco, they blamed Amazon for “incorrect listing details” and only offered to give me my money back, not honor the actual item I bought!!! I bought a 2.5 gallon tank, not a 1 gallon tank, so how is refunding me for it doing me any good? I will just have to go buy another 2.5 gallon tank from another seller and will pay the regular price instead of what this listing says.
So, then I called Amazon. They informed me that they have no control over seller listings, that each and every seller lists their own products!!! So, Petco lied to me and was really of no help at all. I’m keeping the tank because it’s nice and I need a tank. Amazon was amazing and actually gave me a credit to use towards my next Amazon order. I will probably end up ordering the bigger tank, but I’m dissappointed in Petco and how they chose to handle this.
Amazon rocks, and they really went above what they had to do to keep a customer happy! Amazon, thank you so much!
Buyer beware— Petco really dropped the ball here, they could have just sent me the right tank and changed their listing to reflect what they ship you. Problem solved! But they choose to take the greedy route, I will not be shopping with them on here again.
I bought this tank to be used as a segregation tank for my new or ill fish.
I have a 45 gallon tank that houses freshwater fish. When I buy new fish, I like to segregate them and treat them automatically for illness before I put them in with my other fish. I have learned the hard way, that it is much easier to do this than treat my large tank and all the fish when just one is ill.
It has everything I wanted, (filter, light, and small size), except I did want a heater as well. (Better for treating ill fish. Truthfully, I don’t know any kits that actually include the heater…) I had a small heater left over from a previous tank and use that. Otherwise, I would have bought one that actually fits the Mini Bow. It’s size makes it very easy to clean. I don’t keep my fish in there long term, but for my purposes…it is GREAT!
It is a perfect starter tank for kids, too. They can try the whole fish thing without overcommitting to a bigger tank that an adult would HAVE to clean for safety sake.
THE FILTERS CAN BE ORDERED on [...]. My local fish store and our petsmart also only carry the medium and larger filters. My local store is trying to supply the small ones, but for now, I am fine ordering them online.
I just bought this aquarium at Pet Smart but they didn’t have replacement filters in stock. Their web site only offers Medium and Large filter replacements. Even Aqueon doesn’t show this replacement filter on their web site. I’m still looking. Be careful before buying this. Make sure you can get your hands on the replacements before purchasing. I’m not yet sure if I’ve been burned.
