Over the years, fishkeeping enthusiasts have been searching for the products and solutions that add ease and beauty to their homes. Both experienced hobbyists and beginner fish keepers are on the hunt for great fish tanks. Technology has answered their prayers such that currently, they can access palatial palaces for their pets at the comfort of their homes. There are many fish tanks presently available. Below is a list of highly recommended fish tanks for beginners with low technical know-how, limited capital budget, fewer fish, as well as space for the activity.
MarineLand
5 Gallon Portrait Glass LED Aquarium Kit
The Marineland 5 Gallon Portrait Kit is a curved glass aquarium excellent for Betta fish. The kit includes Marineland’s 3-stage hidden filtration with a Rite-Size Z Cartridge, Marineland Bio-Foam, and an adjustable flow filter pump. The bright white and blue energy-efficient LED light is hinged for easy access to the tank, and features a 3-way switch to toggle between white and blue, off, and blue-only settings. The white LEDs create a shimmering light in the water that mimics the underwater effect of sunlight, and the blue LEDs produce a relaxing moonlight glow.
Aqueon
LED MiniBow Aquarium Starter Kits with LED Lighting
This is a compact fish tank with a contemporary design and elevated base, making it ideal even in smaller spaces like desktop, kid’s dresser, or dorm room. This tank has a sleek, low profile LED energy-efficient light hood with feeding holes. These openings make it easy to feed fish in the morning without opening the lid. Each of the LEDs includes Aqueon Quiet Flow Filtration (replaceable) as well as food and water care samples. It has an inbuilt power filtration, but in case you want to keep tropical fish, then it has a hole that can accommodate a heater. The filter is on the side eliminates much humming noise. The tank can be divided into two to carry up to three fish.
Tetra Bubbling
LED Aquarium Kit 1 Gallon, Hexagon Shape, With Color-Changing Light Disc (29040-00)
This bright plastic hexagon shaped aquarium is excellent for Bettas, and with the addition of a heater, small tropical fish. The kit includes a clear plastic canopy with a convenient feeding hole, an auto-changing LED bubbling disk that automatically cycles through a rainbow of LED light colors, an air-driven Whisper internal filter to keep your tank clean, and provides a healthy environment for pet fish, small Whisper Bio-Bag, and an air pump to drive both the airstone and filter. The clear lid with a feeding hole makes maintenance easy. This tank is put on soft ground to minimize the rattling sound. It is appropriate for keeping one Betta or up to two tropical community fish.
Koller AquaView
2-Gallon 360 Fish Tank with Power Filter and LED Lighting – AQ360-24C
This Tank has energy-efficient LED lighting with seven color choices plus four transitioning and color combinations you can choose depending on the time of day. It has one-piece construction providing strength and durability such that chances of possible leaks are minimized. This tank offers a unique, trendy shape with enhanced clarity such that you may think it’s made of glass.
With a flow rate of 25 gallons per hour, that enhances beneficial gas exchange while increasing oxygen levels, fish waste, and other impurities are quickly removed as the water is filtered through the Tetra Whisper XS filter cartridge. Rechargeable AAA can be used as a power back up for LED light or plug it into the wall.
These excellent beginner tanks will keep the aquarium water crystal clear and your fish healthy and happy.
I am a master Aquarist and Aquatic Horticulturist, and this pains me to see. Please take down this article, as the average person will read it and purchase these tiny tanks to house living things in. No beginner should purchase a tank under 10 gallons, and no fish should be kept in anything under 5 gallons (and even that is cruel, even for Bettas). There is a major problem in the hobby: misinformation and profit-mongering by chain stores and large companies ensure that fish die and people end up massively discouraged with the fishkeeping. I can elaborate more in further correspondence if you would like.
Thank you,

I also believe this list should be removed. Using a small article like this to advise on fish ownership is bizarre at best, harmful at worst. We come here to read facts and view historic photos, I also love “Ask the Readers”. These aquarist lists have been very strange indeed and I generally skip over them (and this is from a betta hobbyist). Honestly, I thought this was an ad for amazon or some other website since it seems so out of place on Kickassfacts.
