This tank is ok for just starting out, but i found that it didnt really give much room for my fish, so i upgraded her to a bowl, which was a little better, but now shes got 5 gallons so shes happy now. I also didnt like how i couldnt flip the lid open, it popped off every time scaring my fish every time i needed it off, and the little hole to feed them through is tiny, i think it could have been designed a little better.
