Is this tank good for neon tetras or guppies?

I wouldnt recommend this tank at all!!! It was a nice tank for what it was but the built-in filter stop working after 3 months of proper use.

Depends on what you put in the tank and where you have it directed. I mean if you have Mollies or something like that it might be to much but if you have African Chiclids it is GREAT. If you have Plecos Like a Galaxy Vampire Or a Golden Hetrodon for example they come from the rivers of South America and LOVE fast moving waters so again it depends

Probably not. This tank really is barely big enough for 1 beta fish. A couple of glofish is about capacity, despite what the Glofish company puts on the box.

AsxI have only uaed them in aquariums, woukd suggest you call Tetra at 1-800-423-6458. That the number they list on the container as " Help you care for you fish"

I have no special knowledge about fish tanks, This one worked very well in our green house for plants. It does not get hot.

small goldfish, zebras, a few other tetras do ok without a bubbler. 1-2 is all you should probably try (rule is 1" of fish for every gallon of water). We've even had a small water frog in ours and he did pretty well.

A 2.5 gallon tank of guppies might find the water rough as this pump pushes a lot of air with fresh batteries. Then you would need a stone to keep the bubbles small. I use the pump to keep bait fish alive in an old cooler when fishing

I think fitting a new filtration system in the place of this one is possible because it just hangs at the back of the tank. If you don't overload the tank this filtration system is just perfect. I have 3 tetras and two dwarf frogs and this filtration hasn't failed me .. great tank overall !

Tetras are small, I don't know if I would because there is 1/4 inch gap between each tank that the Tetras may end up in the next tank or even get stuck in that gap. You can get an idea from one of the reviews a guy used something to plug the gap up, I forgot what it was. Hope this helps.

I use a stronger pump and put two in. Water is really clear for guppies. Goldish, no, because you would need to change water regularly.

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.

yes, this unit works well enough for both of those size tanks- you wont need to run the protein skimmer as much for the 30 gallon depending on what you have going on in it. Id suggest setting it up on a timer and just have it go on ever so often to scrub the water up :)

Dont't know about 1 gallon, but we operated this heater in a 3 gallon. It was recommended by the tank company (no affiliation with Tetra)

I would say yes but it is not necessary. If you are keeping neon tetras I would get one--- neon tetras should have little flow. Miraculously NONE of my baby mollies were sucked up by the nozzle without one. If I was ordering another Fluval c series I would get the prefilter just to be safe.

I used this Finnex for a 20 gallon freshwater fish tank. It was fine at first, but mine did not last very long though. There are Tetra filters at places like Walmart, too, that may be a better choice.

Full grown guppies should be ok. My Betta actually likes to suck himself against the filter intake and chill there. He has been ok and hasn't been hurt by it. I don't think babie gupies would be ok though.

I had to cut the black trim on my tank because it didn't fit but it's all roses now. But honestly my filter sucks really bad. It's very loud and it overflows even when it's brand new I'm not satisfied with mine at all. But tetra is a good company as far as I know so mine could be defective. But I'm just cautioning you that mine has had problems...
