Chico 0.5 Gallon Aquaponic Betta Aquarium Bowl

0.5-gallon aquaponics 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 aquaponic tank. With that said, please decrease the water level by 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, it since fish may nibble on the roots. Please note that the plant is not a source of food for fish. Additional features: our aquaponic tanks come with ceramic planting media, which retains water and supports root growth for any plant you chose. To add water to the tank, simply water the plant, as if it’s in a pot of soil. As for feeding your fish, you’ll need to lift the black plastic top. Items included: a plastic tank, black planting lid, and ceramic planting media.
