"I bought this cause it looked really nice and it does. One thing to be aware of it is bigger than the dimensions listed. I will see how it looks in my 5 gal tank but mine is a dome shaped one and if it doesn't I will keep to use another time. Looks nice to even use in a terrarium."
"Not the greatest for a turtle tank. They can move them around"
Bottom Line
It's a good ornamental option while cautious with the tank conditions and the fish.
