Aqua Culture 1.5-Gallon Aquarium Starter Kit with LED Lighting

You’re limited to maybe 2 small fish with this tank. I tried to cycle my tank with fresh water for months, but the tank is just too small to cycle the ammonia and nitrates/nitrites correctly. i ended up adding lake water in this, which is murky when added. But the filter clears up the water within a day. I stock mine with small lake fish (3 of them right now, 2 1.5 inch and 1 that is about an inch). the interesting thing, the fish are dark grey when i add them. after about a week, the fish are kind of clear, whitened up and healthy. i’m going to add 2 more, i usually have 5 small fish in this tiny tank (i’ve had 12 in there, 7 babies. i released those back to the lake). i clean this tank out about once a month, the filter has no chance to catch waste and extra food. the pebbles in the bottom are actually “stuck” to each other. i filter the water and reuse 60% of it, and add 40% fresh lake water. negative: the pipe broke on the filter (it’s adjustable in height, and poorly made). i took a simple 3/8 hose pipe from an old shower hose and fixed it. i’ve had this tank for over a year now. if you know how to maintain it, this is an excellent bargain tank. Don’t use batteries. Use a mini USB plug for the lights, runs off a 5 volt phone charger block. And add an air bubbler.
