I haven’t recieved it yet, but I believe I can gather what comes with it by reading the other feedback, but is there anything else I need to purchase before setting up that I would need as well as what I would need shortly thereafter? Also, currently, my fish do not live in a heated tank, so if this comes with a heater, should I use it? I see other items offered but can’t tell if they come with it or if it is something I should get. I’d appreciate any advise under comment. Thanks!

If you’re looking to get this product, small fish like neons and those that don’t grow larger than 1 inch might work. However, the photo shows goldfish in this “aquarium”. DO NOT put goldfish in a “tank” like this! Many people aren’t aware that goldfish grow up to (and likely over) a foot in length. They need *lots* of filtration, and 1 goldfish is required to have a *minimum* of 10 gallons; 20 gallons being the preferred *minimum* for *one* goldfish.
Koi are another fish that would be inappropriate for this “aquarium”, as Koi can grow up to 3 feet in length. 1 Koi needs a minimum of 100 gallons (or was that 1000 gallons?).

This aquarium came with everything to set it up. I was a very easy setup. It is streamline and looks great on my desk. I currently have 3 goldfish in it, and they seem very happy swimming in their bi-Orb.

Baby Biorb was so cool looking and low-maintenance, I thought I would love it. The problem: The pump is noisy — it makes more noise than than both the motor on my refrigerator or my dishwasher when it is running (despite the label on the pump that says it is “silent.”) Biorb’s “customer service” was completely unhelpful — both my calls and email went unreturned. After several tries, I returned the Biorb.
