How big do these grow? I'm looking for something small to be the main attraction in a 5 gallon tank.

Mine are pretty much full grown and they are about 1 to 1.5 inch. They are awesome! They have a very small bio load so these would be perfect your tank. Go for it! Mine live in 78 to 81 degree water with 7.6 ph. I feed them algae wafers every now and then.

They are great quality, but even such this Is a small variety of shrimp, and will be only 1/4 to 1/2 or so, maybe bigger but not much. Get like 30 in a 5 gallon and it would look great. Tbh with these guys order more than you need, they are sensitive. That being said, the seller sent me.mine and ALL were live, its been MONTHS and most are alive.

Already started but pretty small. That said I bought some and quickly put them in the ground and they are thriving and growing fast!

The mini works good with a 5 gallon tank and would probably be fine for a 10 but it may be slow. The small may be a better fit for bigger tanks.

Absolutely overkill for a 5 gallon tank. You need a 50watt at most. A 150watt would likely cook the little guppies.

Hi Melissa, good question and I think that you would be fine with a 5.0 gallon, the most popular size. I would also consider putting a frozen gallon jug of water in the container in the morning each day (like a big ice cube) which will keep the water cool and inhibit algae growth which can be an issue in warm weather. Also check out the Chiller Cover, which is a thermal cover for your Critter Cooler that increases sun protection 10X's. Hope this helps, best of luck keeping your big baby cool this summer.

I bought 13 Gallon like recommended. They are way too big in my opinion. I would definitely try 10 gallon next time

I'd get 2 depending on how long the tank is. My tank is 5 gallons but I bought it to grow my floating plants. It's a bright lamp

In my opinion yes it would be to large for a 5 gallon tank. They make a smaller light meant for 5g tanks. I have this light on a tall 10g half moon.

Three gallons is not too small. These are small snails and are doing well in my desktops. I don't know anything about goldfish since I have bettas. Good luck!

Mine are about a foot tall and are slow growing. They say once they get 5 ft they are fast growers. They look very healthy and get watered daily.

I have two over a 20 gallon long. I have two red bubble tip anemones and one green bubble tip anenome. All are healthy and vibrant in color.

Yes! Currently growing photosynthetic gorgonian, soft corals and LPS along with a bubble anemone. This is over a 28 gal nano with 1 strip. Planning on getting a second strip just to cover more square footage in the tank.

Hi, Mary - it is a good size for a 30 gallon tank, but I think it would be too large for a 5 gallon. It needs to sit inside the tank, so it takes up a lot of space. In my aquarium, it sits in a compartment at the back, hidden behind a sheet of black plexiglass. It I had to look at it in the tank, it would be unslightly, even in a 30 gallon aquarium, unless I could figure out a way to hide it behind live rock.

My plants have been very slow growing, they were only a couple inches when I got them and they are now a whopping 5 inches. To be fair, I just discovered that they're not getting enough humidity so I need to make that adjustment. Since they're rain forest plants they like a higher humidity level than I keep my house.

You would need the 5 watt size for a 1.5 gallon tank. This one would be way too warm.

Java fern, Java moss and any type of Anubis will do fine in there. The tank has plenty of ligt it's just small for some species of plants.
