10 Best Betta Fish Tanks (Review) in 2020

The best Betta fish tank that we’ve found that we believe offers enough for everybody is the MarineLand Portrait Aquarium Kit. For those of you just getting started, it’s the ideal place to start and provides a perfect 5 gallon Betta tank to ensure they’re nice and comfortable in their new home with plenty of room to explore.

The white and blue LEDs mimic the ambiance of the ocean, while the hinged light and sliding glass canopy make it super easy to feed the fish and complete your weekly clean which will be made even easier with the advanced 3 stage filtration. For aesthetic purposes, there’s also a hidden pump that ensures a more authentic experience and has plenty of room for decoration of all kinds, from stones to sand to underwater vegetation. It makes it feel so real, even you might want to climb in and check it out yourself. It makes a perfect Christmas gift for any animal lover.

With vibrant  LEDs, the inner environment is brought to life to ensure your fish is the happiest fish on land. This Aqueon Aquarium Fish Tank has everything a starter would need, from accessories to food samples, and even an easy setup guide that makes sure you do everything perfectly.

Also included in this Betta tank is a preset heater to guarantee tropical comforts inside what is, quite frankly, a truly mammoth tank. This gives your fish plenty of room to explore and lots of opportunities for you to switch up the layout between cleans. If you’re just getting started and if you’ve got the space, there are few tanks which can provide the versatility as this tank. Now, anyone for a swim?

Light is essential in any Betta aquarium and this Fluval Spec V Aquarium Kit might provide that light like no other kit on the market. Boasting a massive 37 LED lights that overhang the tank, your Betta is sure to be one happy fish. The five-gallon capacity ensures there’s also ample space for it to swim around, while also saving you a slight cleaning job – hey, at least it isn’t 10 gallons, are we right?

Furthermore, this Betta fish tank kit comes with 3 stage filtration, something which is essential to keeping it as healthy as it is happy and also has an adjustable nozzle output which better contributes to more efficient filtration. As for the design of the tank, it’s smart etched glass and has classy aluminum trim which the fish may not care about, but you might. A great housewarming gift for any home.

Looking at something a little smaller, this 1.1-gallon Tetra LED Half Moon Betta Aquarium is our pick for the best value tank available. The canopy is clear plastic and comes with an easy to reach feeding hole, while repositionable LED lights give you the chance to change things up if need be.

The full moon design also allows you to place it anywhere in the room, which is handy for those without much space. However, this convenience is marred by the fact there’s no filter, so you’ll have to work a little bit harder than normal to keep everything clean. Be sure to also check out our list of the best automatic fish feeders for more great items like this.

The Fluval Edge Aquarium (with LED Lights!) is the very best Betta tank we’ve come across – and we’ve looked at a lot. The sealed glass construction provides security and durability, while the rectangular shape mounted on the decorative makes it look as if it’s floating, making it a modern addition to any home.

There’s also an easy-to-use filter with the Cycleguard already included that ensures excellent maintenance and happy fishies. Furthermore, powerful LEDs provide a variety of hues for different environments, giving you and the fish a slice of variety. Elegant, strong, and large, any fish would feel right at home in here.

A product that’s indisputably top of the cool Betta tanks column, the Aqueon Betta Falls Kit provides 3 tanks in one through its multi-stage design that comes with adjustable water flow control and also has fill levels so you can keep up to date with its condition with ease.

You’d think that three levels would cause some noise, but you’d be wrong. The Quiet Flow power filtration means the whole process is almost (almost) silent but also extremely effective, and keeps the water clean and healthy. It’s not as large as we (or you) might like, but for smaller spaces, it’s a stylish option that might be too hard to resist. An amazing Christmas gift for dads and kids.

The biOrb Classic Aquarium comes with a long-lasting ambient light that perfectly sets the tone of the tank and eases your Betta fish into its new environment comfortably. It’s the only tank we’ve selected that offers a mighty 5-stage filtration and has a universal filter cartridge which will save hours of searching for the perfect replacement.

Also, unlike other tanks, it’s constructed using acrylic, which is stronger, lighter and clearer than glass and will certainly save any tears should it topple from its shelf. Available in either 4 or 16-gallon options, you’ve plenty of chance to start building something that your Betta will think is home, sweet, sweet home. Be sure to combine this with an aquarium filter from our list.

Working on a closed-loop ecosystem that is maintained by fish waste (we know, but stick with us), the Back to the Roots Regular Water Garden is a tranquil product that uses aquaponic systems to utilize self-cleaning (yay!) through the plants acting as filters and fish waste as a fertilizer.

For this reason – among others – it’s perfect for beginner fish owners, and in the package, you get everything you could need from a start kit including sprout seeds, a submersible water pump, and gravel for a more genuine environment. BttR also encourages owners to send images of their tank in for the chance to win in a monthly giveaway, which might be enough to convince you, maybe.

Our final Betta fish aquarium comes in the form of this compact Tetra Crescent Aquarium Kit. it uses energy-efficient LED lighting systems to keep the tank illuminated while not wrecking your energy budget, and the ultra-activated carbon halts odors and water discoloration in its tracks, which is great for you and the fish.

The operations are also quiet, giving you the peace that you so desperately deserve, and it’s size makes it ideal for placing on the kitchen counter, in the dining room or on your desk, and is sure to offer you hours of peace simply gazing into it from time to time. If that sounds like bliss, it probably is.
