Do the jelly fish just grow to their habitat and no larger or will I have to get a bigger fish tank later?

They are not real jellyfish. They are plastic so obviously they don't grow.

The jelly fish stay the same size. I love mine. You will not be sorry if you buy one they look so real. no feeding no hassel .

The Jelly fish are not real and made out of a rubbery material. The pump/filters on either side of the top of the tank lid push water, first on the right, then on the left.. creating a very realistic movement of the jelly fish. The lighting adds to the look. After a while you forget they are not real.. totally worth getting.. doesn't take up too much space and can be enjoyed for 3-4 hours when it automatically shuts off till you press the button on top of tank to the right.. There are two switches side by side on the right , one controlling the on-off and the other freezing the chosen light color or if left alone with rotate through the colors.

Yes, the rule of thumb with fish is 1" ( as an adult) per gallon. They need to have room to grow or they will be stunted and not be as healthy. I always google how big a certain kind of fish would grow into then decide if it will be good. If you haven't gotten this yet you may want to reconsider. It goes through 2 different kinds disposable filter every week to two weeks costing about $8 each time combined unless you buy in bulk, but that still gets pricey as well.

Guppies I would say yes, but I wouldn't take a chance with dwarf shrimp. They're fine around my Amano shrimp though, they don't bother them at all. Probably because they're around the same size. Btw, in my aquarium with the CPO's I also have zebra danios which are about the same size as guppies and I haven't had any issues. Also have Pygmy corys, blue Rams, platys, gouramies and discus.

That's unfortunate. I have two platys and they approached the cf when I first put them in, but the cf turned around, put up their pincers like boxers ready for a fight and the fish thought better of it. They haven't approached the cf since.

I'm real too. I bought mine 6 months ago. It's a little small but a great starter project for kids, just make sure they don't over feed the fish. I have a beta, a cory cat and a snail in mine. I'm having trouble with the plants, but that is because I used bad seeds and have a bad cat. (The cat ate the seeds that came with it.)

We purchased this tank for our daughter for Christmas and then got her a beta which she has named sapphire. Sapphire seems very happy and to have plenty of room. My husband would like to get her a snail also and he has previous experience with fish (I have none) so I would imagine there is room for both. I am unsure about the dwarf frog although could ask my husband what he thinks. I hope this was helpful and that you have good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Hi Patti- that depends entirely on what species you are breeding. This size is usually used as a grow-out chamber for eggs or fry. Getting fish to breed demands meeting the right conditions they require to get them in the mood, so to say- this can be anything from light cycle, temperature, water quality, water level, specific numbers of fish, etc. Its different for all species. I recommend Axelrod's Encyclopedia of Tropical Fishes for very in-depth info and also join your local aquarium society and fish groups on Facebook. There is a lot to know, some fish are easy to breed, some are almost impossible. I myself breed danios, livebearers, angelfish, and killifish and also Bettas.

Yes, you put water in it. to fill line plus few drops of dish soap to keep jellyfish from clumping together.I added fish tank background (tape to outside of tank) and glass beads at the bottom, inside. A great conversation piece.

I would not put a goldfish in it. Goldfish are messy eaters and the filter is really wussy. To give you an idea of how weak the filter is, most 10 gallon tanks have filters that filter between 150 - 250 gallons of water per minute. This tank is a 4 gallon and has a filter that only filters 36 gallons of water per minute. Also a goldfish will outgrow this tank really quickly. The minimum tank size for a fantail goldfish is listed as a 30 gallon tank and they also need excellent filtration because they eat a lot and poop a lot. You could put a baby in a 4 gallon tank, but you would need a new tank really fast, and this tank would get polluted because of the inadequate filter and your fish would get sick.

Three gallons is not too small. These are small snails and are doing well in my desktops. I don't know anything about goldfish since I have bettas. Good luck!

I don't have fish in my dome terrarium. I have cactus and moss. I used the soil that came with the cactus and they have been growing fine. It is a sturdy dome and maybe you could put fish in it but how would they breathe with the dome lid on? You could try. Wasn't that expensive to try. If it doesn't work with fish you could plant small plants in it. Don' t have to water them.

The pellets are on the larger size or they would need to be bigger goldfish at least 3". I have mix of Koi and large goldfish and this is what I feed them both.

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 solution to your problem. Goldfish average approximately 10" in length when grown (not including their tail). In just 3 month, it should be around 3" long (again, not including the tail). As much as you care for your goldfish, you are, unfortunately, subjecting it to a cruel life and eventual death. A 3 gallon tank is a death chamber for a goldfish. Goldfish need to be in a very large tank or an outdoor pond.

The smaller pellets are about 3-4mm in size. If the fish are large enough to grab these, then you should be able to feed them. The food nicely floats on the surface allowing the fish to attack them as needed. I use them in an outdoor pond with Koi and they love it. The original / previous versions of the food were much larger pellets (about 2x) so make sure the ones you buy are the smaller pellets.

Plants attach to back of tank(outside) . Use spring or filtered water,fill to about a half inch from top, allowing room for over spill one top is put on so once top is on water level will be between 1/8 - 1/4" in view. Put all jelly fish in tank, separating them out. Put lid on. There are two small button switches on top right of pump-light-lid. Left switch button turns light (multiple colors) and pumps. Switch on right sets a single color you choose . Pumps fire up independently, each turning off and on, back and forth. Let it run for a while so bubbles will go away from jellies and tank. Pumps and lights will turn off automatically in about 4 hours. That's about it ;) Plants attach to back of tank(outside) .

My fish were able to eat them with no problem. If you think they may be to large you can put a few days worth in a zip lock bag and it them with a gamer to make them smaller. I hope this helps. My smallest is about 6 inches and my largest are a little larger then 2 feet.
