This tank would be ok for a male beta assuming you remember to keep an eye on the water. Another good fish would be no more than 4 guppies, which fancy guppies can be VERY pretty (the fish that started me on aquariums). I really cant tell what kind of filter comes with the set up but you can easily purchase a carbon filter for a 1-5 gal tank to improve the quality of the water and the health of the fish. This tank really is super awesome and there is nothing wrong with it. I just recommend research before you get fish for it
Posted by: niki March 1st, 2013
While Im here, can anyone tell me where I can get just the Tardis? Haha, I want one for my 55gal tank
Posted by: trish January 17th, 2013
I shall put a beta in this!
Posted by: KORSAIR January 17th, 2013
A whatta?????
Serious question
Posted by: eddy March 1st, 2013
do you mean beta??
Posted by: The Driver December 29th, 2012
I personally think the stickers on the front of the tank make it look tacky.
Posted by: Diamond December 9th, 2012
Okay wow….. some of those above comments, about gold fish and this tank being too small…. People! There are Fish bowls -smaller- than this that fish live in!
Just saying…….
Posted by: Matt January 14th, 2013
Yes, there are bowls smaller than this, and they are not suitable either. I have seen first hand the sickness and deformities that occur in fish by being kept in bowls and aquariums that are simply not suitable.
Don’t be arrogant, get advice from people that KNOW what they are talking about.
This would be a good place to ask BEFORE you buy a fish death box and end up having to then try and put things right.

This would be great for a fighting fish, they don’t need a lot of room.
Posted by: Joy October 6th, 2012
It may be too small for fish, but would probably be a great tank for SeaMonkeys! I mean, one of the teeny tiny little tanks they sell is supposed to hold up to 100, so one like this would be great for a huge colony of them. I might just get me one for the SeaMonkeys my roommate and I currently have.
Posted by: The Driver December 29th, 2012
Are seamonkeys those things you grow?
Posted by: Dalek X September 24th, 2012
Cool now your fish can travel in time and space and fight evil cybereels and sea devils and the greatest the great white daleks and the weeping starfish
Posted by: sma17 September 24th, 2012
Bettas like small spaces – you could keep a betta in it, no?
Posted by: Paul September 6th, 2012
To be fair, pet shop retailers (Pets at Home is where I recently bought mine) wouldn’t be selling this tank, whether for a child or an adult Who enthusiast, unless you could keep fish in it, otherwise they wouldn’t provide a filter with the product and give instructions inside for keeping fish. Obviously due to the size of the tank 2-3 small cold water fish maximum is recommended. Some of the comments on here are totally ridiculous and misinformed.
Posted by: booboo September 6th, 2012
you didn’t see the abuse we got for just showing this item from apparent fish experts
amazing how opinion differs
problem is small fish get bigger and that’s where some of the problem lies it seems
we were even asked to remove the article hence the warnings
Posted by: M4M May 25th, 2013
this tank would be the ideal size for a betta fish, just add a heater to keep the water 78 degrees Fahrenheit, they ARE Tropical fish! The leading cause of death in betta “tanks” is fatty liver (no room to exercise), ammonia poisoning, and bacterial infections from dirty water.
Petstores often sell a lot of things that aren’t very well suited for pets, but they manage to get away with it because people fail to fully educate themselves on their pets, citing that they’re “just animals”, and therefore, why care?
Posted by: UDWF1 April 7th, 2012
My fish need a new smaller home, so this is my choice, 100%!
Posted by: Starbuck January 12th, 2012
I would get this if it was a bit bigger
such a shame, it just seems like they didn’t do their homework before bringing out a product like this. How disappointing…
Posted by: booboo January 12th, 2012
there are many themed tanks Like this which on the face of it are to small for fish however you can buy a Tardis ornament http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dr-Who-Tardis-Aquarium-Ornament/dp/B004CEMYUE and could use a poster on the back of a larger more suitable tank
Posted by: anthony November 29th, 2011
now this looks cool ownly if i had a fish note to self get a fish where i no i nbo erm a o no the kitten and cats might eat it good thogh
Posted by: OODSIGMA November 29th, 2011
Completely in adequate to keep fish in! 1. Not enough room for a stable happy
life for fish! 2. Can only keep cold water fish, so no beautiful tropical fish!
3. Were are you going to keep all of the equipment? 4. Not safe, a fish could
jump out and die!!! And theres many more!!! Sorry to be a pain, but its true!
Posted by: Anonymous November 29th, 2011
There’s a lid, and a filter.
It is adequate to keep certain types of fish, I doubt that there is any tank suitable for all fish (not even the sea).
Posted by: booboo November 29th, 2011
I have taken the matter up with an expert and await there reply – i will decide to what to do after I have heard from them – to be honest this is causing more trouble than its worth.
A local aquatic retailer consider a 15L aquarium too small to house goldfish, but it is suitable for small coldwater fish such as white cloud mountain minnows.
Posted by: OODSIGMA November 29th, 2011
Ohhhh why did it get deleted, please answer. I didnt see anything wrong with it!!…?
Posted by: booboo November 29th, 2011
i just wanted to read it. if this tank is suitable for fish then i will find out, if not i will do something about it but until then we have to take it at face value
Posted by: dan23 November 29th, 2011
I have some white clouds there lovely looking little fish and I recommend them as a good starter fish
Posted by: OODSIGMA November 29th, 2011
OK it was just knowing what I had done wrong… I wont judge so harshly again, and im fine if you delete…
Posted by: charlie December 29th, 2011
my son has this tank which we got from pets at home who wouldnt sell it if not suitable for fish as they would get done for that we have a couple of goldfish who are quite happy in the tank and have loads of room .
Posted by: booboo December 29th, 2011
After some very aggressive comments left by individuals on the site we took advice from a well known animal welfare organisation who have given me details as to the recommended minimum adequate requirements for goldfish (or any fish really) and this tank does not meet them. Now that the advice has been given we cannot feature it here as being suitable for fish. This article only remains here as it is still a licensed Doctor Who product.

So THATS where Jim the Fish lives! I always wondered… Hes even got his own TARDIS!
Posted by: cybermat6 November 29th, 2011
i liked the last because its the new world.
Now we need bow ties and tweet jackets to make them the doctor!
Posted by: Commander Strax November 29th, 2011
THATS CRUL
Posted by: Mels November 29th, 2011
WOOT! +5 on the randomness scale, but a pretty nice idea.
I’m not sure what fishies will make of the TARDIS though.
Posted by: Daleks R us November 29th, 2011
It looks way to small for any kind of fish to live in (apart, perhaps, for ONE Betta splendens) and fish don’t need Doctor Who in their lives, they need plants and rocks to hide.
Posted by: Commander Strax November 29th, 2011
it could be bigger in the inside
Posted by: Mr_Moley November 29th, 2011
Now all you need to do is buy a few Sea Devil figures, and the tank would be complete
Posted by: Mumble5557 November 29th, 2011
if i get a fish it will be called Jim.
Posted by: i think the paradigm daleks are POWER RANGERS! (chocolate) (aarondrwhofan64) November 29th, 2011
lol hi mumble5557 ive seen u on youtube you’ve got good videos
Posted by: Adam November 29th, 2011
I saw this at the weekend at pets at home
Posted by: Commander Strax November 29th, 2011
i saw it one a christmas newsletter
Posted by: Dalek Sec November 29th, 2011
I wanted to make a clay aquarium Dalek, for my fish but they died, and i had no clay.
Anyway cool, i hope to see more of this.

does the tank have a lid to go on the top?
Posted by: booboo November 28th, 2011
a plastic one (for safety ) yes
Posted by: dwfan101 (torchwoodfan101) November 28th, 2011
as i said earlier, why get this? a plastic lid can come off & a fish tank themed as DW means completely nothing to a fish. Seriously, anybody, including booboo, tell me what is so fantastic and wonderful about a fish tank, with a dalek, a TARDIS… TELL ME PLZ?!
Posted by: booboo November 28th, 2011
Its a licensed piece of Doctor Who merchandise which is what we do here like it or not, we cover everything good and bad. I don t like the stickers but when the tank is set up it looks quite smart with the vortex background and and Tardis in the tank – Those are my pictures of it you see above, its not a promo image but the actual thing. if you going to have a tank why not this one. I really dont see why just because you dont like the idea of it everyone else shouldn’t .
To be honest with what’s happened tonight i sometimes wonder why i bother, my life would be much simpler without all this. I spend ours taking pictures for this site and doing articles and lately is becoming a bit of a trial.
Posted by: Anonymous November 28th, 2011
I think you’ve listed all the reasons it is “fantastic” and “wonderful”.
It’s like asking why people dress dogs. There’s no reason, they just like to force their loves on pets.
Posted by: h0rrid November 28th, 2011
Odd, but I love it.
Posted by: CONNORTHEDOCTOR November 28th, 2011
I’m getting that for my fish’s birthday! but that’s a while away (In July) but what i want to ask is will they still sell it in july? another question is Booboo do you have that already and they are your pic’s? also any news on a Rory figure (I aksed this the other day) i’m so excited.
Posted by: Anonymous November 28th, 2011
One’s coming out (Moffat has forced release of one) and Arthur Darvill has seen it confirming that it has a “chequered shirt” although I wouldn’t expect release until next year sometime.
Posted by: booboo November 28th, 2011
no news on Rory and yes i do have it, and yes they are all my pictures of the box and tank set up. i have no idea on stocks but would have thought this was on going
Posted by: DWFAN#1 November 29th, 2011
What a lucky fish!?!
Posted by: TARDIS November 28th, 2011
my felling on this
Posted by: SAMDAVERN November 28th, 2011
what the hell! a fish tank. how could the bbc have licensed such a product!
Posted by: King of the weevils November 28th, 2011
with enormous difficulty!
Posted by: booboo November 28th, 2011
Disney do, they do toy story ones and all
Posted by: Anonymous November 28th, 2011
Disney own the fourth biggest navy on the planet so fish tanks make sense for them, but the BBC?
Posted by: booboo November 28th, 2011
more fees for a license to produce this i suppose, i actually think this is quite fun
Posted by: Si November 28th, 2011
Just when I though I had seen it all……..
I rather like this
Posted by: AlphaOmega November 28th, 2011
One way to get the kids into fish, I suppose…

What the hell, I’m am just getting over the pointless change of figures such as blue shirt to whit shirt doctor- they should not be doing this, they should be doing a rory figure!
Posted by: booboo November 28th, 2011
this is nothing to do with Character though, completely different merchandise
Posted by: crazy guy November 28th, 2011
they have all ready been made it is due for release next year
Posted by: dwfan101 (torchwoodfan101) November 28th, 2011

Posted by: videogamemad00 November 28th, 2011
booboo do you have fish? I don’t (But if I did I would probibly get this for them)
Posted by: booboo November 28th, 2011
not yet but i will have soon, i have had them in the past though
Posted by: Fishfingers November 28th, 2011
Awesome, I love it! great way to introduce people to the joys of fish
Posted by: Anonymous November 28th, 2011
Bit odd, although compared to some other merchandise that has come out recently this seems normal.

No offence but fish and budgies don’t take well to moving homes. My grandads budgies died a couple of months back from changing home.
