PONDON Fish Tank, 3 Gallon Glass Aquarium, 3 in 1 Fish Tank with Filter and Light, Desktop Small Fish Tank for Betta Fish, Shrimp, Goldfish (Black, 3Gallon)

Quiet filter, but tank gets hot
Overall a great product for the price, but the filter has a few drawbacks. The filter is completely silent and that was what I was looking for primarily. The filter does get hot though; my house is set at 78 degrees in the summer and the tank still warmed up to 84-85 degrees just based on how warm the pump gets. I unplug it occasionally to let the temperature drop. As you will see in other reviews, the water blower on the side is strong enough to push the fish around in this little tank. You can cap off the blower without damaging the pump, or, you can put a fake plant in the tank and point the blower at it to disperse the stream.

After researching all 5-10 gallon tanks for hours, this is the best by far
It is the perfect aquarium for this size range. Absolutely looks and feels like it is real glass (disagree with other reviewer) and is super clear with beautiful rounded corners. The integral opaque top with light is much better than the competing name-brand rounded glass corner aquariums because the light is only inside the water and not bouncing off some added top glass into the room. The bottom joint is beautiful and not just a sloppy silicone seam like the competitor rounded corner tanks. Pump is quiet and works great. Light is good. I planted micro sword so I removed the original light and installed a 10 W brighter light for them for $10 (double sided foam tape to the inside of the top) , but is not required. I also put in a heater for $10. I put in a 20 lb bag of Eco-Complete Planted Aquarium Substrate as a deep substrate gravel bottom to reduce need for water changes. It is a very well thought out aquarium. We have 5 neon tetra and 1 betta fish. Everyone in the tank looks happy.

Adorable but such an impractical design. Pump and lights also prone to failure
Pros: Adorable. Glass. Curved edges. Built in lights and pump for filter and aeration.Cons: Narrow opening and non removeable filter setup makes maintenance difficult. Pump is too strong for a betta. Pump and lights both prone to failure within months. The “built in” features do not make this tank any easier to maintain, only harder.Cheaper Price = bigger pain. If Budget is not an issue, I recommend the Fluval Spec III 2.6 aquarium. I don’t know why they call it 2.6 because it is actually over 3.5 gallons. The filter also needs a sponge modification to be suitable for a betta or else only turn the filter on for short periods to prevent overly stressing the fish.I have 4 of these Pondon tanks in 1.7, 2 and 3 gallons. It’s been about 6 months since I bought the first one. The opening to the tank is very small, you can barely fit your hand in to set plants or decorations. The plastic molding for the filter pad is built in. They need to redesign so it lifts out because apart from decorating, it makes water changes and maintenance very difficult. I went up in size every time I reordered, hoping the extra space would be more manageable. Naturally the 3 gallon is the easiest to work with and is the only one I would ever recommend. All of my tanks are planted so I can’t just take the whole thing to a tub and blast water in to clean it, but it’s too small to maneuver a siphon around inside. I have to fill the tube with water from the sink then try to block the end and flip it quick so it doesn’t loose it’s prime. The tanks have such a small opening that it takes a few tries to get he siphon working. The tank needs a deeper base dimension so you can get your hand inside at any angle.I also should have waited some time before reordering. If I had waited, I might have realized that the pumps and lights tend to quit after a few months. Of the 4 tanks, only 2 still have working lights, and only one pump is still working but the hum has been getting louder for weeks so I expect that one to fail soon too. Another pump still moves water through the air regulator but isn’t strong enough to drip onto the filter pad.The pump siphon has an open bottom that is supposed to sit under the substrate. This hides it and slows the intake, however the filter output is too strong for a betta, which is about the only fish appropriate for a tank this size. The intake also sucks up sand so I don’t recommend sand as a substrate in these. I tried to modify some with sponge filters around the intake to slow the filter and leave the sand out, which seemed to help but those pumps ultimately failed anyway.

The filter is terrible – it doesn’t work well, there is no waterfall!
