Two artificial plants — one small green and one taller red — come fitted inside, giving the tank immediate visual depth without extra purchases. The internal filter on the right side keeps water circulating steadily. The flat rear panel and curved acrylic front give a clean, contained look when placed against a wall. Best suited to a single betta fish, a small group of shrimp or miniature tropical species that prefer calmer, low-flow water.

A compact aquarium designed for beginner aquarists or those wanting a desk or windowsill setup. The semi-cylindrical acrylic tank holds 3 litres with a dark charcoal lid housing the built-in filtration system and LED lighting.

What Is Included

Two artificial plants — one green, one red — come fitted inside the tank, providing immediate visual depth. The internal filter on the right side keeps water circulating, and the LED is built into the lid, requiring no separate fitting.

Best For

Suited to a single betta fish, a small group of shrimp or miniature tropical species that prefer calmer, lower-flow water. The 3-litre volume means water parameters can change quickly, so daily checks are recommended.

Placement

The flat rear panel sits flush against a wall and the curved acrylic front gives a clear, distortion-free view. Place on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight to prevent algae build-up.

Description and experienceShow

Most new aquarists either start with a tank too large and overwhelming to maintain, or a bowl that provides no filtration and makes water quality impossible to control. A 3-litre semi-cylindrical aquarium with an integrated filter and LED sits between those extremes: small enough for a desk, stable enough for a single betta fish or nano shrimp colony, and simple enough that a first-time keeper can manage it confidently. The built-in filter keeps water circulating without external plumbing, the LED provides consistent lighting without an additional fitting, and the two artificial plants give the tank immediate visual depth. The curved acrylic front makes the fish visible from a natural viewing angle. Daily water checks and twice-weekly partial changes keep a 3-litre tank balanced — the routine is quick once it becomes habit.

Guarantees, usage and supportShow

Technical review and performance

The tank body is formed from clear acrylic in a semi-cylindrical shape with a flat rear panel and curved front. The dark charcoal lid is a moulded plastic component housing both the filter intake and the LED strip. The filter is an internal unit drawing water through a slotted grille on the right side of the interior. Small clear feet are integral to the base moulding.

Expert take

This tank works well as a first aquarium or a species-specific setup for a single betta. The semi-cylindrical shape is more interesting visually than a standard rectangular starter tank, and the integrated filter and LED reduce the number of components to source separately. The dark charcoal lid keeps the top looking clean rather than cluttered with wires. The 3-litre volume is worth noting honestly: water quality in a small tank can shift quickly, so daily checks of temperature and ammonia are a good habit. This is not the right tank for goldfish or any high-waste species. For a betta kept alone, or a small shrimp colony of five to eight, it provides a practical and visually pleasant home without the overhead of a larger setup.

Highlighted features

  • 3-Litre Acrylic Tank
  • Built-In Filter System
  • Integrated LED Lighting
  • Two Artificial Plants Included
  • Compact Desk or Windowsill Size

Key benefits

  • Creates a calming, visually engaging desktop feature without requiring a large dedicated aquarium space
  • Simplifies water maintenance with a built-in filter that keeps circulation running continuously
  • Reduces setup time with artificial plants and LED lighting already integrated into the tank
  • Gives betta fish and shrimp a stable environment without overpowering flow from a large external filter

Usage recommendations

  • Cycle the tank for 2 to 4 weeks before adding fish — allow the filter to establish beneficial bacteria first for a stable environment.
  • Place the tank away from windows and radiators to avoid temperature fluctuations; bettas prefer a stable 24 to 26 degrees C.
  • Add a thin layer of fine gravel or sand to the base for a more natural look — the tank arrives empty and benefits from substrate to anchor the artificial plants.

What's included

  • 1 x Semi-Cylindrical Acrylic Fish Tank (3 litres)
  • 1 x Charcoal Lid with Built-In Filter System
  • 1 x Integrated LED Light Module
  • 2 x Artificial Aquatic Plants (1 green, 1 red)

Materials and composition

  • Acrylic (tank body)
  • Plastic (lid, filter housing, plant bases)

Care recommendations

  • Check water temperature and ammonia levels daily in a 3-litre tank — small volumes change faster than larger aquariums.
  • Do a 25 to 30 percent water change twice a week to keep ammonia and nitrite levels safe for fish and shrimp.
  • Rinse the filter cartridge in old tank water (not tap water) every two weeks to preserve the beneficial bacteria that keep the water balanced.

Keeping a Betta in a 3-Litre Tank

Betta fish are often sold in small containers but they are active swimmers that benefit from at least 3 to 5 litres of water. This tank sits at the lower end of that range, so enrichment matters: add a leaf hammock near the surface where bettas rest, and avoid placing the filter outflow directly at the betta's usual resting spot, as they prefer low current.

Frequently asked questions

How many fish can this 3-litre tank hold?
It is best suited to a single betta fish or a nano shrimp colony of five to eight individuals. Overcrowding a 3-litre tank causes rapid water quality decline; fewer animals means healthier, easier maintenance.
Does the LED lighting have different colour modes?
The LED is built into the lid but mode options are not confirmed in the listed specification. Treat it as a single-mode light until you can verify otherwise from the product packaging.
Can this tank be used without the filter running?
Running the filter continuously is recommended. In a 3-litre tank, water quality deteriorates quickly without active circulation, particularly with fish producing ammonia. Switching it off for more than a few hours is not advisable.
Is the acrylic tank scratch-resistant?
Acrylic scratches more easily than glass but is lighter and less likely to crack from impact. Use soft cloths and acrylic-safe algae scrapers when cleaning the interior; avoid abrasive pads.
Are the artificial plants removable?
Yes, the artificial plants are positioned inside the tank and can be repositioned or removed for cleaning. They are not fixed permanently.
