NO! It is a great tank, but it is very small. It is good for 1 to 3 small fish. I have 1 beta in mine. I also have a turtle. He is currently in a 29 gallon tank which is really too small for him. Turtles need space.

It will not fit in the 10 gallon tank. I got a 30 gallon tank and my turtles love the space.

I have this tank and a tetra 40 gallon fish tank and as far as I can tell they are the same other than the locking screen top on the reptile one. I would contact tetra directly to be sure though.

That tank looked way too tiny. I have mine in a 3 gallon tank with an undergravel filter using an airstone for flow. Has worked since I got them, rarely needs cleaning ever. I have 12 in that little tank though. It is circular and they really seem to love the shape as they continuously swim around and around. They didn't do that in the 3 gallon fish aquarium with a filter? Good to see them active. Regular filters could all damage the shrimp so undergravel is much safer for them.

This is not a good tank for turtles lol. it has an opening door and the wasted space! Zoo med makes awesome products for turtles though. You want somthing like a regular 10 gallon tank. that you can pimp out with turtle stuff.

Hi, Mary - it is a good size for a 30 gallon tank, but I think it would be too large for a 5 gallon. It needs to sit inside the tank, so it takes up a lot of space. In my aquarium, it sits in a compartment at the back, hidden behind a sheet of black plexiglass. It I had to look at it in the tank, it would be unslightly, even in a 30 gallon aquarium, unless I could figure out a way to hide it behind live rock.

Hi there. I think you are going to love you SeaClear aquarium. I put 25 lbs of substrate in mine and that seems to be plenty. More and you will have more problems keeping it clean. By the way, I just bought a Python water changer (on Amazon, look it up.) Now I can't imagine how I ever did without it! It makes weekly water changes a breeze. It may seem pricey if this is your first aquarium, but it's worth every penny. After you carry gallons of water back and forth for a few weeks, you'll see why. Aquariums are addictive and I now have a 50 gallon SeaClear and the 40 gallon. Would have more - even bigger - but I don't have the room! Good luck. Hi there.

All depends on what you are using it for. Like Dham, I also use it for one large and dirty red eared slider and it works great . Right now he is in a 40 gallon tank w/ 30 gallons of water, I plan to move him to a 75 gallon tank with 50 gallons of water... it should still work well... but that's for a red eared slider ... just one. I'd run a 2nd one if I add another turtle. Depends on your use -- turtles are the messiest.

It would def keep your 10 gal tank clean for along time and it would be very safe for a small turtle. I've been very happy with this filter. We have little baby fish all the time and they're totally fine. The filter is quiet and it's nice to not have to clean the tank all the time!

It's a really nice little tank. Any fish will do great but it is very small. I think if you did somethinglike a neon or molly you could have up to 4 or 5.

I believe this heater will be way too much for your small tank. I use this in winter only for 20 gal tank for a turtle. Hope this helps. Don't fry your fish!

If you have to ask this question, you shouldn't be getting and turtle!Turtles require special lighting, powerful filtration, proper heating, and a low tank of no less then 60gl if you want your turtle to thrive.

i got him in a six gallon, pillar style tank. its deep, and i have logs laying horizontally and vertically for him to walk and down the tank. it also provides hiding places for him.if you have it, i would say get a 10 gallon tank. i had the 6 gallon as a spare and empty tank. that's why i made it his home. he seems to be happy, but bigger is always better!

I use mine in a 70 gallon turtle tank with a turtle box on top. You should be good, but you will probably have to get some aquarium silicone and silicone the intake parts together. Otherwise your turtle is going to claw at it and pull them apart.

I think it will fit. The tank is a half moon shape so It really depends on the shape of the item. Ive fit a spongebob pineapple fish house, a squidward fish house along with plants in mine. Its about 5.5 inches width in the middle at the widest point and the length of the tank is about 10 inches. The tank itself is about a foot tall. Those are the dimensions of the tank. I tried to fit a round coconut hermit crab house in there and it did not fit but it was a bulky item to be putting into a gallon and a half tank. If you wanna put lots of props in your tank with ur betta id recommend a 3 gallon tetra tank. i bought one on here for like 40 bucks. I upgraded one of my bettas to a 3 gallon so I could fit the large coconut in the tank. Big items fit best in the center of this tank fyi. 4.5 by 3.5 should fit like I said.

Greetings, for a tank of little ability I do not particularly recommend it. will have too much turbulence, like a hurricane.Look for a more consistent eg 240 Koralia nano.

It's up to you but it looks better on the bottom of the tank just don't cover it with the gravel hope this helps :)
