I purchased one of these a few months ago and we love it. We paid over $90 for it. You can get the glofish at most local pet stores, I also noticed Walmart.com sells them now to.

I've had this same tank for a few years. $25 from chewy. It looks nice but has been a pain. Not worth the $70 IMO. Better off getting a regular tank and adding a hang on back and a sponge filter. This 6 gallon is on sale: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/pet...e-aquarium.

Or get this 20L and you'll be really happy: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/pet...-20-gallon

5 gallons is a very small tank. Not slagging the deal, but keep in mind it will be hard to maintain healthy water quality in such a small tank. The picture also shows way more fish than should be in this size tank. The 1" of fish to 1 gallon of tank should be taken with a grain of salt. In a small tank, that's an overestimation of capacity, and should be considered against adult size, not the size the fish is when you get. This would not be a best tank for much more than one or two very small fish.

Yeah, the Tetra built in filter is total crap, too!
And $70 for a 5 gallon tank is crazy expensive!
Also, the only thing that makes this a glo-fish tank is some blue LED lights, that will make the colors of the glo-fish (genetically altered with squid DNA for bright colors) glow under the blue lights. You can get cheap LED strips with blue LEDs included that will do this.

^^^ALL OF THIS!
Bigger tanks are easier to keep water parameters stable. And you'd never want that many fish in this size tank either! Especially not the skirt tetra glofish they're showing in the ad, that can grow to much larger than a silver dollar (unlike the smaller zabra danio glofish).
