Penn Plax Finding Nemo Big Eye Aquarium Kit, 4-Gallon

I purchased this for my son as a first fish tank. It is very cute but the filter is terrible. Within the firsts week, we started having water issues. Eventually, we purchased a ten gallon tank and moved all the fish over...they were much happier with some clean water and oxygen!

I received this as a gift from a friend who doesn't know much about keeping fish tanks. The tank is really cute, and the little "feeding area" is pretty cool to peer into. HOWEVER:

1. This tank doesn't come with a light. And

2. The filter doesn't work well.

If you are considering starting up a fish tank with a Finding Nemo theme, you would be better off buying a different tank and adding some Nemo ornaments and a Nemo background.

I bought an LED light/airpump so the tank would have some light, but it's still not enough. The tank looks pretty dark whether the light is on or not. Also, because the light goes on the bottom of the tank and shines up, it lights up my whole room because the top/cover is transparent. This looks cool, but I wanted the LED light to make the tank glow a little bit in the dark, but it doesn't.

As for the filter, I'm pretty sure it just sucks water in and spits it back out, making a current rather than filtering the tank water. I've tried to look up this type of filter online to see how it works, and I couldn't find anything.

I received another used tank from my boyfriend. I can actually look inside the filter to see what it does, and it's a tank from Marineland, a trusted aquarium brand. It has a working light on top and the top/cover is solid black, so my LED light shouldn't light up my entire room. I'm going to transfer my lovely fish over to that aquarium as soon as I get back from my trip-I hope they stay healthy enough in this tank until I get back so I can transfer them over the more functional tank.

Overall: If you want a safe, healthy home for your aquatic friends, I would look for a different tank.

This is a very cute and functional fish tank, but it really needs a light. I have looked on Amazon and can't find a coordinating light. That is my only problem with it, otherwise a great product.

I had a smaller fish bowl for a pair of gold fish and needed a larger tank then after they grew. I found that the fish liked the toys and are happier swimming in a larger space. The fish also enjoyed looking out view of the zoom view as they ate fish food. The Finding Nemo graphics are what the fish likes as they swim around in the pool of water.
