This one is worth trampling others for!

nice. my little girl would love this

Ben probably should have mentioned that this is the tank used in the Puget Systems computer in an aquarium using clear mineral oil.

Six gallon tank. Thats kind of small. I wouldn't put too many fish in it.

This is a little expensive for what you get. There is no heater. Who knows if the filters are standard enough to allow one to buy them easily. It's nice for those "little girl" presents but anyone else should stay away from it. Spend a little more money and get a real tank.

This is s decent little tank. You will have to limit the number of fish. The filters are available at most pet shops that sell fish supplies. This is a good price they are usually much more ($49-$99 online).

This is a good gift for the upcoming apocalypse.
Not only does it provide a reserve supply of drinking water but you can also do some fish farming there for a food supply.

I imagine you would need approximately 1,000,000 guppies for a decent meal. Gutting and filleting them would incur some level of waste.

Meh...rather have a USB fish tank.

COOL great price for everything that is included in this set

how big is 6 gallons really?

I bought this "super technological aquarium" in 2000 and it was a $100+ aquarium then (seriously). I had it for about half a year before my stepdad broke the motor after falling on the aquarium (luckily there was only one unhappy beta-fish in there at the time), and I gave up on my dream of raising schools of fish.

However, I'd probably buy another at this price. Six gallons is enough to have a little, manageable flock of fish (like 6-7 tiger barbs and some filter feeding fish). The bio-wheel is seriously an awesome device, the tank is really easy to clean (seemed easier than glass), and I enjoyed it.

6 gallons is a great starter tank. It's big enough to have 6 tetras and some snails. Only thing missing is the heater. It's not very heavy at around 60 pounds setup. Maybe put a daisy wheel underneath and you can spin the tank around for 360 view without shifting position. It's perfectly setup for a dummy to use but the drawback is I don't know how easy to mod and add an additional light. At 8 watts, it's no good for a planted tank.

#11 tiger barbs are also a good one. They will tear the feeder fishes to shreds. I bought two in my community tank and the next day, I had 6 headless guppies. Needless to say, the two hard workerto the pet shop that same day. The tank could fit a smaller species of piranha.

With a unit this small a heater is optional; the hood with the light and filter mechanism keeps the water warm enough to keep fish from stressing.

I wouldn't put tiger barbs in this small of a tank, they are schoolers and require numbers to keep aggression down. Zebra danios, guppies, platys and other starter community fish would find a better home in one of these. Tetras too but they don't seem as hardy as other fish. Add an otto for algae control and a couple of corys for bottom maintenance.

I remember these things being $63 and $58 in times past.

You fish-nerds spend way too much time in your parents' basements with your fish tanks.

General rule of thumb is one inch of fish per gallon of water. Six gallons=six inches, a couple more than the average Ben's poster has.

Just goes to show Ben is a burp sellout, when was the last time you saw a fish tank on Ben's Bargains? NEVER.

Time to start RagMan's Bargains.net

Nice catch jdev. I think I'll get this for a christmas gift.

All the fish knowledge around here is astounding...

I would get this for my live food for my piranha but 1. no heater (I'm not going to display feeders so the light is irrelevant) and 2. it's from Wal-Mart. And also, Grouchy, get a new avatar and get off my lawn. I've been complaining longer than you.
