PENN-PLAX presents the 0.5 Gallon Aqua-Ponic Fish Tank and Planter. Each fish tank is made from ultra-clear plastic, and replicates natures metabolic cycle by providing a healthy and symbiotic environmentfor fish and plants: as fish excrete waste in the tank, the plant atop absorbsthis waste as nourishment, which in turn cleans the tanks water.

For those more interested in growing plants hydroponically, our tanks can also be used strictly as a planter, allowing you to add your own nutrients. Your Bettas New Home: Bettas are the most popular fish for our 0.5 Gallon Aqua-Ponic Tank. With that said, please decrease the water level about an inch, giving them enough space to breathe from the waters surface.

Weekly partial water changes are highly recommended. Suggested Plants: Most indoor house plants and kitchen herbs are suitable for planting atop. This includes Peace Lily, Chinese Evergreen, Lucky Bamboo, English Ivy, Mint, Watercress, Chives, or any leafy Lettuce. We recommend using established plants instead of starting from seed.

If it can be grown in an indoor hydroponic garden, it can grow atop our tanks! Please research desired plants toxicity and nutritional requirements before using, since fish may nibble on the roots. Please note that the plant is not a source of food for fish. Additional Features: Our Aqua-Ponic Tanks come with ceramic planting media, which retain water and supports root growth for any plant you choose.

To add water into the tank, simply water the plant, allowing the run-off to flow into the tank. As for feeding your fish, youll need to lift the black plastic top.
