Getting a Tank for carpets is usually difficult
"I really like this tank! Just the right size for a betta, cherry shrimp, and mystery snails."
"I bought this tank a few months ago and without a clear reason, the side cracked and started heavily leaking, for a tank that is $ 160 worth what it is designed if it's broken then its a bad investment"
While the design and functionality of this tank are top-notch, I would recommend caution. It is good for what it is designed for, but the reliability could be an issue in the long run, you may need to look at higher quality options. The aesthetics are great and it works well for a betta or small snails, but be aware of its safety and longevity.
