Featuring an integrated QuietFlow Power Filter and biological filtration, the MiniBow can easily sustain an aquarium ecosystem that requires minimal maintenance for fish keepers. Many prefer this tank for small nano fish such as bettas or tetras.

LED adjustable lighting with both daylight and moonlight. The kits include food and water care samples, LED lighting, complete filtration, filter cartridge, biological cartridge, cover for filter area, and cover for tank with feeding door.
