Lazer Brite Reflective Dog Leash, 6-Foot, Skull and Cross Bones

Lazer Brite Reflective Dog Leash, 6-Foot, Skull and Cross BonesBought collars and leashes for both dogs and a collar for the cat. Wonderfully bright. Great safety feature. Another plus: Manufactured USA!

The leash is okay but the reflective tape is only on one side, so I was disappointed to find that out when I received my item. Other than that, the product is good.

Squeaky Dudes Hang Loose Rubber Dog Toy

Squeaky Dudes Hang Loose Rubber Dog Toy, Medium, assorted  colorThis is my dog's very favorite toy. He's a super destructive chewer that LOVES anything squeaky. I cannot give him any kind of plush/fabric toys period as they're gone in a few minutes. I've never found another toy that he hasn't immediately ripped the squeaker right out of besides the squeaky dude. Granted, he immediately removes the two hands upon receiving it but after that he continues to play with it. The squeaker sort of started to fall in on the first one he had after months and months of use so he's on his second one now. I just cut the hands off of the second one before I even gave it to him so I didn't have to worry about him swallowing pieces. You can't beat the price for how long it lasts.

It's a little big for my dog's mouth. I tied it to a circular pole and she loves to chase after it as it circles around.

My dogs love to remove the squeakers from toys and are unable to destroy this toy. I have told all of my dog people about this toy.

Ok, there are very few dog toys that are truly indestructable.

That being said, I do keep one eye on my dog when she is playing with them.

She chewed the thumb off the hand when my other eye was busy. LOL

The thumb did come out in her POOP ! So I can not give a thumbs UP, LOL,

I am better off buying her New balls than a ball with hands . The squeaker

has not come out or been an issue. She does not really want to retrieve with

this toy, just prefers to chew on it because of the small hands on the sides.

So for that reason I give it 2 stars.

Penn Plax Betta Aquarium Tank Kit

Penn Plax Betta Aquarium Tank KitWe have had 2 of these tanks and they seem to be OK at first. They don't look bad and it's small so it doesn't take up much space on top of a book shelf or a dresser. But we have and 2 of them. I never put the trees in because I was afraid the fish would hurt themselves on them seeing as the space is limited as it is. The first tank we used the "water release cap" every time we changed water unless I was going to clean the whole tank. One day I cleaned the tank and the next morning the water was almost completely drained, poor fish! And the DVD's, VHS videos, and the CD's I had in the shelf that the tank sat on were all wet! I was extremely unhappy so I took it back to the store and got my money back. I went back to the pet section of the store and talked to the department manager who said they have never had a problem with them and sell several. So she convinced me to get another one. I brought it home and set it up but this time I haven't used the water release cap in the bottom of the tank, I only poured the water out of the top of the tank to change it. Well, I will say that this tank lasted a little longer than the first one but again, this morning I woke up and found the poor fish almost dead in about a quarter of an inch of water and again, my shelf of CD's, DVD's, and video tapes all wet again! I have called the company this time but of course, they were busy "helping other customers" and I had to leave a message for them to get back to me. They have yet to return my call.

So, the bottom line with the product, if you value your pets and your furniture and don't want to put your fish bowl in a bowl to catch the draining water, is don't waste your time and money on this fish tank. It will cost you more in the end to replace the damage that it does than buying a decent tank to begin with will.

I was pleased with the design of this small beta tank, although ultimately it has the same limitations as the Betta View Hex.

The Penn Plax Betta Bow-Front Kit is surprisingly well-thought out: the bow-front makes for the best view possible, without the slight distortion you see in the Betta View Hex. Both come with a little gravel and tiny plant.

A nice improvement is the undergravel sifter (I can't call it a filter; there are no mechanical parts) with the drain hole (water release cap). This hole makes it easy to remove debris and water from the bottom, since it's really too small to get my gravel vacuum in.

I had to force my gravel vacuum into the Betta View Hex to clean it, which disturbed my white female housed inside and quickly sucked out half of the water before I could properly vacuum the gravel. With the Bow-Front, this isn't an issue, and it's easy to replace 20% of the water weekly, or as needed.

Another improvement is the little slot to slide the fake plant bottom into, so it doesn't float free and drift around above the betta, like the plant does in the Betta View Hex.

I like the top better, too. It has two depressions for easy lifting, and larger air holes than the Betta View Hex. I can even feed my betta through these slots, and help keep the warm air inside by not removing the cover.

The Bow-Front Kit's gravel is marketed as 'waste-absorbing crystal', and the manufacturers recommend monthly replacement.

Unfortunately, the Betta Bow Front Kit I brought home from Wal-Mart had a crack along one of the seams, and it is growing. I didn't notice the crack until my steel blue boy was already housed in it. When I purchase his larger home, I will exchange this product for a new one. As always with Wal-Mart products, look over your purchases carefully. I've seen too many imperfect returns placed right back on the shelf.

To sum, if you have a choice between the Hex View and the Bow-Front, the Bow-Front is a superior product.

Note These tiny betta homes get toxic for your fish very fast if you don't change the water on a near-daily basis. If you can keep up with this level of care, this is a very nice mini-tank. Alternatively, you can remove your sick bettas to this tank from their larger homes if you need to treat them for an illness like ich.

Marineland 31501 Screen, 2.5-Gallon

Marineland 31501 Screen, 2.5-GallonI got a small 2.5 gallon glass aquarium at my local Petco so my beta fish has a little more room to swim. Unfortunately, they don't sell their mesh tops there for a tank that small. So I went online and ordered this. They didn't give a lot of information about the product so I almost didn't order it, but it was the only 2.5 gallon cover I could find and for 8 bucks, what the heck. I'm glad I did. My tank is 12"L x 6"W x 8"H and this screen fits perfectly on the top. It doesn't sit over the edge or anything, fits right in the black plastic outline. It also has locking handles. Basically a knob with a little metal oval bit on the opposite end that twists around so when you set it on top if your tank, the metal bits tuck under the black plastic lip. Perfect so nothing hops out. As for the screen itself, it's 12" x 6" and it appears to be made of pretty sturdy metal for how small it is. Lots of holes. 5 stars because it does exactly what it needs to do and does it well.

I purchased this to cover my 2 gallon betta fish tank. It fits perfectly. I have a happy fish and now he can't jump out.

The lid is excellent for keeping my scorpions in. The only negative is the twist locks feel a little loose..

Zoo Med betta House 2 Gallon Television Style White

Zoo Med betta House 2 Gallon Television Style WhiteThis is a very cute tank and a great size, but mine has a small, very steady leak on the bottom. I'm hoping I can patch it up with some aquarium sealant but I was very disappointed to set the whole thing up and then notice a very slow drip around the base. It may just be a fluke in mine because I own a 1 gallon version of the rectangle shape Zoo Med betta house and have never had a problem with it, but be sure to test the tank thoroughly with just water in it before you go through the trouble of setting it up just to have to disassemble it again.

Aquarius Aq360-3g Gloview 3-Gallon Aquarium Kit

Aquarius Aq360-3g Gloview 3-Gallon Aquarium KitThis tank offers a 360 degree view of the fish. (Including the cool "bending" effect you get in a curricular tank that you don't get in a square or rectangle) Hood as a LED lamp with 4 settings: White, Blue, Blue moonlight and Blue & White. Blue enhances the color of the fish. White simulates daylight. I leave the Blue & White on during the day for effect. The hood also features two "knock-outs" on the back for an optional hang-on filter and a notch for the air tubing and optional heater cord. Also includes an under-gravel filter. Very sturdy as well!

Love the way this tank looks on my daughter's desk! It's slick, does not take a lot of space, and the bubbles look really pretty. The air pump is a bit noisy, but it was not too big of a concern.

The problem is with the quality of the components. 3 weeks into using the tank, the blue light stopped shuting off. We just started unplugging it for the night. Two days later, the blue light completely stopped working. I called Kollercraft, and they replaced the light under warranty. I did not even have to send the old one back. Great! One month later, the white light on the replacement unit stopped working. We got it replaced again under warranty. Yesterday, the air pump stopped working, and of course, we are 2 weeks out of warranty period.

The under gravel filter leaves something to be desired, and the fish guard doesn't guard fish in that it keeps flying off. The LED lighting rusts easily. I would look elsewhere!

Easy to set up and beautiful! I want a few more. Would make an amazing gift for the fish enthusiast. Because it is only 3 gallons you can move it and clean it easily.

UPDATE 6-11-13

I have had the tank 6 months and finally the LED lamp went out. I saw elsewhere where this had been a problem. I called Kollercraft direct and they sent me out a replacement lamp for free...no questions asked. Great service and stand up company.

Well I read every review and saw there were complaints about the light but I was too impressed by the sparkly LED lights to noy hit my 2 day one click shipping.....low and behold the white light stopped working yesterday. Ive had it 3 weeks, I believe if I had not filled all the way to the top this may not have happened. The lights are splashed with the water from the air bubbler. I am going to contact the company and see how hard the replacement will be. I still like the little guy and keep my smaller fry in there safe from becoming food and I think it is a great deal for the price. Someone said it was flimsy when carrying it full of water to clean....uh....you never move a tank with water in it unless you want a mess, you siphon out the water first and then clean and put back together or just do the 20% change each week. It is plenty sturdy and a great little tank....when the lights are on.

********update******** 6 days after wrote review the white light stopped working

Aquarium Fish Tank Silicone Sea Anemone Artificial Coral Ornament SH156B+R

Aquarium Fish Tank Silicone Sea Anemone Artificial Coral Ornament SH156B+RIt is really small. Gets lost in my 55 gallon. This would be good for a 10 gallon tank. It is also fragile meaning thin and easy to break off. Nice color but that is it. Would not recommend. Too expensive for what u get.

Aqueon Ammonia Neutralizer

Aqueon 06008 Ammonia Neutralizer, 4-OunceYup, I said it, cloth diapers! My son has an extremely high amount of ammonia in his pee, and regular washing wasn't getting it all out of his cloth diapers. I found online as a suggestion to use this fish stuff, as it's safe, and so I bought some. Comparing this one to another brand I bought, and searched for online, this works great, AND it is a good price. A huge container for a good price, I usually buy these two at a time! If you're a cloth diaperer and are having ammonia issues, add a few tablespoons to your wash cycle and it'll do the trick!

This product neutralizes ammonia build up in your tank. It is a must buy. Here is the low down on the product:

1) Works quickly.

2) Does not cloud the water.

3) Has a press down cap and cap cover.

4) The larger 16 oz size is a great value.

I would recommend this product.

Hagen Nutrafin Basix Betta Food, 0.42-Ounce

Hagen Nutrafin Basix Betta Food, 0.42-OunceI use this as part of the rotaion of pellets that my bettas like. I try to feed them differing pellets that are high in nutritional value. The gobble this up like everything else, including their peas and garlic. The "fish" shaped packaging is a pain with the little rubber stopper in the back. Fortunately shaking out too many pellets is not a problem for me because I have several fish, however for one fish this would create aggravation trying to put pellets back into the package. I finally transferred the pellets to an empty container to make life simpler at feeding time.

These are truly weird pellets. My Betta bites it and spits it out several times before he can eat it. Often the pieces turn to dust or fall to the bottom and swell up, uneaten. The texture reminds me of clay which is odd and something I've never seen in any other product. It's the worst betta food I've encountered. The packaging is also terrible. You get a plastic fish with a tiny hole underneath it that is sealed with a rubber stopper. It makes it awkward to use. My advice is to choose another brand.

Coralife SL-38 Super Luft Aquarium Air Pump

Coralife SL-38 Super Luft Aquarium Air PumpI have had this pump for 20 months now, and it has not lost its power to pump a lot of air.. I have a 75 gal tank and use all four outlets and the air output has not dropped. I do have to change out the stones as they will clog and slow the air down, but can't stop it... great product as most pumps will have broken diaphrams or other parts broken by now and have to be replaced or repaired. this pump is as strong as day one and I have done nothing but plug it in and enjoy the bubbles..

only problem is pump will be a little loud but mine is located in a cabinet in the family room so its not a problem for me. But if this is in your bedroom might be a little loud to sleep:)

it does its job, i wish it could work a little better when i spread it out over 8 filters but for the cost im not going to complain. another upside is that unlike other air pumps this doesnt need to have the diaphragm replaced every time it does bad
