Would this tank be good for a beta fish?? And exactly how loud is this pump?

Yes it is good for a Beta, my son has his Beta in one. The pump is only loud if it vibrates against the tank. To avoid this you just readjust the filter and there will be hardly any noise.

I have a beta in mine and he loves it. The pump is quiet unless it touches the side of the lid. Once moved back into place it is quiet.

I use this for my beta fish. It's a perfect size! I also have a log and a plant in it and it still has plenty of room. The filter isn't loud at all. You can't even hear it.

I have a 100 gal tank and it works great for me. The pump is great. With any of these pumps if you have to high of demand it's not the pumps fault if it can't keep up. I would purchase another if I needed one tomorrow. It's a good pump.

Well, if you want a LOT of bubbles it will be perfect.. It has four outlets so you could easily have four aquariums going. I have a 60-gal tank and it is more than enough.. And super quiet.. I would suggest getting it.. You can upgrade your tanks and never need additional equipment.

It's fine for a 7 gal. I have mine on an 8 gal with 1 betta and 4 neon tetras. Flow rate is perfect for plants and bettas.

Yes, it's very loud. It didn't work well for me and I ended up renting one from the hospital. It's a much larger and more efficient pump, and much quieter.

Glo fish may not jump out, but other fish will. I know this from personal experience. Perhaps just stick with Betas and glo fish if you do buy this tank.

You can probably use this for your fish tank, depending on the size of the tank. This pump moves 45gpm, so it might be way too much pressure for the tank. I would suggest that you check out pumps that were made for the purpose of oxygenating fish tanks, rather than McGivering something that might kill your fish.

I'm unsure as to what a hearing tube is as I've only seen the submerged heaters. The tank is extremely small. My betta grew too big for it when he hit full size. I just recently purchased the Tetra 3 gallon cube and I'm very happy with it. It uses the same pump, but there's room for a heater & my betta can swim around more freely. He'd gotten to a size which barely permitted him to move in the hexagon. Although, I'd added a silk plant for him to hide in. I was very happy with the hexagon though. It was easy to clean once I found a cup to fit. The only issue I had was the suction cups on the pump kept coming loose. You have to get just the right suction in order for it to stay. Took a few days and does periodically come loose. I'd say that's a downfall of any pump attached by suction cups though. The bubbler LED was too powerful for my betta, however, so if that is your selling point, I would consider the 1.5 gallon Tetra Cube as it is not the best. Hope this helps :)

It has worked perfect and reliably for my 5 gallon betta tank, but it could possibly be too powerful for your use. Also, it's rather large in size, it would take up a lot of tank space.

Mine works great in my 5 gallon goldfish tank. I'd only hesitate using it for bettas because sometimes water currents can damage their delicate fins.

It is a bit noisy at first. A little bit of vaseline on the impeller shaft works wonders. Alternatively, the more bio-film that grows on the impeller shaft the quieter it becomes. Given time, it will quiet down and is a great filter for smaller aquariums (e.g. 10 gallon).

I don't think it will be too powerful, it may be too big. The diameter is close to 14-15 inches. It is also about 16 inches high. Changing the water filter is also not very fun. The thing must weigh 45-50 lbs.Other than that, I love it! It is quiet, keeps the tank clean. I have a 135 gallon cichlid tank with about 30 fish.I also have a 75 gallon cichlid tank with a 406. It is rated for 100 gallons. it is cheaper and smaller and mine is a year old. it does great also.I hope that helps.

Just get one and try it out. I believe the tank will be more than good enough for your tank.

The pump is good. I have 1 slider at about 6 inch long shell. I just use just the right-angled tube / pipe to circulate the water and it definitely moves the water. I have had this turtle for over 20 years (it might be closer to 25). Best pump yet. I always skimped on the filter investment, but I am happy with this one. The filter will need to be cleaned every couple months or so or when the circulation really slow down. But a high amount of debris might be normal for turtles. Again, I am pleased with the pump.

I have two of these tanks, each with a male Betta who loves it. They make perfect Betta habitats. The filter is too strong out of the box though so best thing is turn it to lowest setting and then cut a small slit (or tiny hole) in the rubber tube that runs between the pump and outlet nozzle. Remember, you can always add another pressure vent hole, but can't remove one so experiment. Mine are more like 1/4'" slits. Flow is just right now!
