Answer 1

i agree with RowdyBull the Biorb 8 Gallon looks great, an 8g fish bowl

Answer 2

i have the first one and it is really UGLY when you turn on the lite and it gets hot really fast and the blue one look very different then the on that pic oh yea and its made of plastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it dose not look good in any room at my house so do not believe in what the box says

Answer 3

The minibow...first one has the filter...like this one best...but 5 in there...this will be fine.  I know people are going to say the "one inch fish per gallon tank" which I DONT agree with.  However, with just neons...and with a filter...they will be fine in this tank.  They are great in numbers 3-5, but better in 5.

UPDATE:  If you have the money and want something a little bit different...then look at different shaped tanks under 10 Gallons.  The best thing about a tank is not neccessarily the size or look, but in my opinion, it is the filter.  These smaller tanks may have decent to poor filters.  I have found one I like and actually bought this for a friend in the past.

Just a suggestion...the friend that received it from me...is a huge neon tetra fan and has 6 neon tetras in there...she loves it.

Best of Luck!

Answer 4

I had neon tetras in my fish tank once. They're really pretty. I would get the first tank. It's actually the smaller version of the one I had for my fish. I was happy with it.

Good luck!!

Answer 5

They are both fine, as long as you get a filter and 25 watt heater.

However, you may want to get 4-5 Neon Tetras since they prefer to be in bigger schools. Keep in mind that you'll be fully stocked with all the Tetras, and the most you could put in is some extra snails or shrimp.

E-mail me for any questions!

Answer 6

i say the second one because it has half a gallon more space.

Answer 7

I have the mini bow (first one) it works well but the filter isn't very efficient. I think you shout get the marina one since you will get and extra half gallon for your buck. You will have to buy tropical fish food since this one comes with goldfish food.
