## Description

PENN-PLAX presents the 0.5 Gallon Aqua-Ponic Fish Tank and Planter. Each fish tank is made from ultra-clear plastic, and replicates nature’s metabolic cycle by providing a healthy and symbiotic environment for fish and plants: as fish excrete waste in the tank, the plant atop absorbs this waste as nourishment, which in turn cleans the tank’s water. For those more interested in growing plants hydroponically, our tanks can also be used strictly as a planter, allowing you to add your own nutrients.Your Betta’s New Home: Bettas are the most popular fish for our 0.5 Gallon Aqua-Ponic Tank. With that said, please decrease the water level about an inch, giving them enough space to breathe from the water’s surface. Weekly partial water changes are highly recommended.Suggested Plants: Most indoor house plants and kitchen herbs are suitable for planting atop. This includes Peace Lily, Chinese Evergreen, Lucky Bamboo, English Ivy, Mint, Watercress, Chives, or any leafy Lettuce. We recommend using established plants instead of starting from seed. If it can be grown in an indoor hydroponic garden, it can grow atop our tanks! Please research desired plant’s toxicity and nutritional requirements before using, since fish may nibble on the roots. Please note that the plant is not a source of food for fish.Additional Features: Our Aqua-Ponic Tanks come with ceramic planting media, which retain water and supports root growth for any plant you choose. To add water into the tank, simply water the plant, allowing the run-off to flow into the tank. As for feeding your fish, you’ll need to lift the black plastic top.Items Included: Plastic Tank Black Planting Lid Ceramic Planting MediaMeasurements: Overall = 5.9" (Dia) x 8.25" (H) Tank Interior = 4.25" (Dia) x 7" (H) Enclosed Pot = 5.9" (Dia) x 2.25" (H).

Review: The most perfect home for my beta fish - I love how simple this is to use and clean, I also enjoy the simplicity of the style and I keep it right on my desk so that I can see my fish daily while doing homework and remind myself to feed him. I am waiting for my plant to root so that it will grow but I just live the idea that the plant will be good for my fish and my fish will also help my plant. It’s a beautiful concept and I enjoy things that are practical like this. Everything is plastic except for the clay absorbent stones Which in my opinion is good because it will not be easy to break or crack. Defiantly a great purchase and for a good price. I recommend.
Review: Works great without fish - I did a lot of research on what kind of fish I could put in this tank, and I ended up putting none; it's not even big enough for a snail. If anything I may get a shrimp or two at some point. However, my main reason in getting it was to have 1) a Peace Lily in the bathroom to help freshen the air. 2) I wanted it planted in water because it's an upstairs bathroom with a skylight so it gets hot and 3) it's a guest bathroom so I'm not in there everyday and needed a water supply that could sustain the plant in between my visits. I put moss balls in on top of white rocks so they will help keep any algae at bay. For my purposes, this planter is perfect but I do think it is too small for any non-plant life form.
