Step-by-Step Starter Guide
Dream of starting a nature aquarium but don’t know what to do or are worried about maintenance? We have tailored a step-by-step guide for you. We will teach you how to choose plants and fish to create a no-fuss beginner nature fish tank, showing you how to do everything and how easy it is！
Recommended Plants for Beginners – Anubias
Anubias is ideal for beginners due to its hardiness, easy care, and ability to thrive in various environments. It doesn’t need high lighting, unique fertilized substrate, or extra CO₂ to do well, making it a popular aquatic plant species that adds a touch of beauty to any aquarium setup.
Recommended Fish
For a 2.5 gallon fish tank, we suggest raising 5-6 small fish between 1-2 inches in length. Zebra Danios are highly recommended, because they are incredibly hardy and tolerate a wide range of temperatures, making them excellent fish for beginners and newly set up aquariums.
How should I choose between two versions? 
Basic Version
Our technology kit with filter and light. This is an easy entry with a flexible choice of substrate, regardless of whether you prefer light sand or deep black gravel. If you have an idea, buy this version and choose the materials you like to build your unique tank.
Complete Version
Beginners’ First Choice – In addition to filter and light, this version also comes with our carefully selected gravel and rock. We will guide you on how to use them to build an easy-to-maintain nature aquarium that is perfect for beginners, without worrying about how to get started.
For Replacement Filter Cartridge
To minimize maintenance costs and reduce the difficulty of maintenance, Nicrew has introduced value replacement filter cartridge packs for a 6-month/1-year supply (sold separately).

Forget pet store plastic beta tanks, get this one!!
My little beta has been through many little plastic tanks. I decided I wanted to upgrade and purchase one with a filtration system to help keep the water cleaner between water cycles. The filtration system will be perfect for helping keep the tank clean. I did purchase the filters extra on the side and they were fairly inexpensive. My little beta is loving his new home. This tank is beautiful! Much better appearance and quality than the plastic tanks I have used before. This is actual glass. I was also amazed at how clear and bright the water/look of the tank was when I came into my office today. This is the perfect size for my office desk. The filter is quiet and doesn’t distract my work.

Great little kit
What a great little kit! NICREW has put together a nearly perfect nano aquarium kit at this price point. Packaging is very high quality.Happy to see the back glass already painted black and the cute little filter is completely silent, adequate for this tank size.The included LED light is very bright (but does get hot to the touch). I think it will help grow a number of different plants without issue.This is perfect for a shrimp-only tank or potentially keeping a single smaller sized Betta.Only thing that would make this kit 100% complete would be including a small basic heater, but even as-is it’s a solid deal for a rimless with all that’s included.If NICREW starts making larger sized aquarium kits such as this one in 10-40 gallon sizes…I will instantly buy multiple!

Surprisingly nice little tank
As someone who has kept aquariums for most of my life, I was actually pretty surprised with the quality of this little tank setup, given it’s price and that it’s not a household brand. It’s a good micro tank and comes with everything you need, although, I did end up replacing the light with something better for my planted tank. No leaks. The back wall of the tank is darkened which I think makes it look sleek. Only thing I would change is the tank lid – it feels cheap but it works. There is a strange circle “lid cover” which basically just sits on t the top hole, but there is no lip or anything so it never feels like it’s on well and I occasionally have to adjust it to keep it from sliding off. The filter works fine so far – can’t speak to the actual filter medium since I make my own. It’s a nice little tank and I recommend to anyone who needs a shrimp or fry tank.

Great product! Great value! Super happy!
This is really amazing. I was skeptical buying it but after getting it I am really happy. Such a great value. I bought this to use as a quarantine tank for a sick neon tetra. It’s a beautiful tank and it is made very well. The filter is super effective and cute as well and the light is perfect. It came with two bags of gravel and a bag if rocks. Those were really good quality as well. Overall this is definitely a five star product. I have it sitting next to my 36 gallon bowfront tank. It’s a good size for being only 2.5 gallon. It’s perfect for what I need it for. After my fish is all better I plan on keeping this little tank going, it’s just too cute to put away. I have noticed no leaks and it’s very very quiet especially compared to a large system. It looks very easy to clean and it’s just great!Also the back glass is tinted black which really makes everything pop and you don’t have to buy a background for it. I honestly have nothing negative to say about it, it’s just awesome!

Great quality, easy set up!
So far, great! Easy enough set up. Great size. Great quality. I added a thermometer and it fit right in there. The fish transitioned in so easily and has been very active for these 2 days. Looks great,Update: 11 ish days in still perfectly clear with a happy fish. No problems.

Cute, tiny! Well made
Very tiny butt well made little fish tank. My betta fish is enjoying it greatly. I added a bubbler and a heater specifically for a tiny tank and he’s very pleased with his environment. I plan to add a live plant or two, But here is the initial setup with some rocks that came with it and some rocks that I added.

Stunning!
We purchased the Nicrew 24-7 light for 12”-18” tanks (worth it!). The pic is in moonlight mode during the default 24/7 cycle mode. The tank is a breeze to set up and is absolutely stunning!! We added the Nicrew air pump and stone and a small sponge filter because we have shrimp and nano fish in it. Absolutely amazing nano desktop tank! We have it in my wife’s office on the table next to the printer and she loves it!! Nicrew, you have outdone yourselves with this one!!Edit: the tank is the Nicrew 2.5gal nano w/gravel river rock and light. We added dragon rock and honeycomb driftwood for the shrimp. We decided to upgrade some of the accessories , mainly the light because it is a planted tank… overall the tank and accessories are absolutely amazing!!!

This is such a great little aquarium except of course there is very little that can be housed in it. I will be using mine as a nursery for baby/juvenile Rice Fish (Medaka). Otherwise a couple of shrimp or snails is all it will hold.The packaging was perfect, product arrived in good condition. Set up was super easy. I used a finer gravel than it came with, but did use the stones and part of the rougher gravel it came with. You can adjust the flow of water, and I can barely hear the aquarium running. I love the slightly transparent black back as it hides wires, and also makes foreground pop. Has a padded base which is great. Lid is basic, but adequate. Light seems fine, it only has one setting.Note: It does not come with a heater, but I think that’s typical for nano tanks.I really hope due to the success of this tank, they roll out a 5 gallon and a 10 gallon so we can actually house even just a few nano fish or a Betta. (This is too small for a Betta. It would have no swimming space.)
J Sorenson –
this is an absolutly great tank for a Betta. He is very happy, he has very large fins and this tank allows him room to swim and hide. I had room for some live plants as well. It has everything at a reasonable price. HIGHLY recommended!
Norman Isai Jaimes Velazquez –
For the price, the content is really good! It already comes with a black background on the back, which gives a better look. The filter clears the water and makes it very clear, and the package with stones and gravel is of very good qualit
Chris –
LOVE IT. I highly recommand it, very well done overall. Note for improvement, would be nice to be able to dim the ligtht. Also you will need to buy a small 25 watts heater if you need to keep temperature at 25-28C … Other than that, it is a great product. Perfect for betta fish, or small scool of nano fish. I put 3 nano anubia curious to see how they will do.
