Aqueon Standard Open Glass Aquarium Tank (various sizes/gallon) Expired

For anyone thinking about buying an aquarium, who isn't experienced in fishkeeping, I want to point out some very important points:

1) Tanks themselves are the cheapest part of your aquarium setup. A stand, cover, lights, filter, air pump, chemicals, food, medicines, and the fish themselves will likely cost you hundreds more. (One cheap way to get most or all of this is to buy a full tank setup used from someone on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace or other online source.) This may seem like a slick deal, but you'll be paying for that $30 you saved for years!

2) Fishkeeping is a difficult and complicated endeavor. Don't buy fish until you know how to keep them safely. If you don't know what the nitrogen cycle is, get to google or various aquarium hobby forums, and spend some time learning. These are living creatures that you're assuming responsibility for for the rest of their lives. Learn how to keep them safe and healthy.

3) Also, make sure you investigate each and every species of fish you intend to buy BEFORE you buy them, to make sure that they can be safely housed together and in the size tank you've got. Learn how big that they can grow to, how big a tank you need for them, how long they can live, whether they should be kept in schools or not, how aggressive they can be to other fish, and which other fish they'll get along with best. Don't get caught up in impulse buys when you see a cool fish in the stores, buys that you'll later come to regret!

Fishkeeping is an extremely satisfying and therapeutic hobby. I'd suggest it to anyone. But it is more complicated and expensive than just a 10 gallon tank. Look up online how to set up a tank the right way. YouTube is an excellent resource.

I think people might be confusing keeping fish alive vs keeping fish happy. Some fish are hardier than others will live through less-than-ideal conditions - but it doesn't mean they're happy or comfortable.

I agree that it takes a lot to ensure you're providing the fish a healthy tank. A lot of people treat fish like possessions, instead of living things.

I purchased a 40 gallon breeder $37.50 It is on sale for $50. I added it to my cart selected the store for pickup. Then called customer service to honor the 25% off $50 or more. They pulled up my account and could see my items in my cart and manually adjusted the discount and completes my transaction over the phone. Super easy, they will even apply any Petco rewards after the discount to keep the initial purchase over $50 so you get the 25% off.
