Don't buy if you can't maintain water temperature . We have owned the WildScience Fantasy Island for almost a month. At first, it seemed like an excellent home for our new Betta fish - It has three shallow ponds and a sky pod for our Betta to explore. It comes with different colored gravel and there is even a place for water plants. The whole thing is encircled with red tubing where the ant colony lives and works. Very cool and provides for endless opportunities to observe and learn.But, after about three weeks in his new home, our Betta stopped eating and was kind of lethargic. We went to the pet store where we had bought our Betta and they suggested that it might be because he is too cold. We tested the water and it was only 68 deg. (Our house temp is between 68 and 72 deg during the day and 68 at night). We immediately moved our fish to a small bowl which we set on a heating pad and within hours our fish perked up, began swimming around, and started eating again. (Phewffff!) He is still in the small bowl, swimming and eating, but we can't move him back to Fantasy Island because it is too cold. He won't survive there....at least not until summer .... In hindsight, we'd have been better off with a small aquarium with a heater and a separate ant farm.As an aside -- we also found it a bit difficult to keep clean and required a water changes every 2 or 3 days or it starts to smell. So bottom line -- it is a very neat idea, but don't buy if you can't maintain the water at the right temperature in your home.
