We Have Answers.

Get quick answers to common questions about biOrb Aquariums

What is a biOrb aquarium and how is it different from regular fish tanks?

biOrb aquariums are modern, all-in-one fish tanks made from durable acrylic. Unlike traditional glass tanks, biOrbs include integrated filtration, lighting, and air-driven circulation in a compact, stylish form factor. Their plug-and-play setup makes them ideal for beginners, while the artistic design appeals to interior décor enthusiasts.

Which biOrb aquarium is best for beginners?

The biOrb CLASSIC 30 or biOrb FLOW 30 is often recommended for beginners. They offer enough space for a small group of freshwater fish, are easy to maintain, and include all essential equipment out of the box. Choose based on available space—CLASSIC is spherical, FLOW is rectangular with more front viewing.

How often should I change the water in my biOrb freshwater aquarium?

You should perform a 20 to 30 percent water change every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on stocking levels. Always use dechlorinated water and avoid removing more than one-third of the water at a time to maintain beneficial bacteria.

What fish can live in a biOrb freshwater tank?

biOrb aquariums are best suited to small, peaceful community fish such as guppies, neon tetras, Endler’s livebearers, cherry shrimp, Amano shrimp, nerite snails, mystery snails, and pygmy corydoras. Avoid large or aggressive fish like goldfish, angelfish, or cichlids, as they exceed biOrb’s filtration and space limits.

Can I use live plants in a biOrb freshwater aquarium?

Yes. Many low-maintenance live plants do well in biOrb tanks, including Java fern, Anubias, Marimo moss balls, Cryptocoryne, and floating plants like Salvinia. Make sure they don’t block the central bubble tube and can tolerate moderate water movement.

How often should I replace the biOrb filter cartridge?

Replace the biOrb filter cartridge every 4 to 6 weeks to ensure optimal filtration. Each cartridge contains foam for mechanical filtration and activated carbon for chemical filtration. You should also gently rinse the ceramic media in old tank water monthly.

How do I prevent algae growth in my biOrb?

To reduce algae, avoid placing the tank in direct sunlight, limit lighting to 8 to 10 hours per day, perform regular water changes, avoid overfeeding, and consider adding algae-eating shrimp or snails. biOrb also offers safe algae pads for cleaning the acrylic without scratching.

Do biOrb aquariums come with heaters?

Freshwater biOrb models do not include a heater by default, but you can purchase a biOrb heater kit separately. Many tropical fish require a stable temperature of 24 to 26 degrees Celsius, so a heater is essential for tropical setups.

Are BiOrb Aquariums suitable for children?

Yes. biOrb tanks are among the most beginner-friendly aquariums on the market. With minimal wiring, an enclosed top, and a self-contained filter system, they’re ideal for homes, offices, and even supervised children’s rooms.

Can I use tap water in my biOrb?

Yes, but only after treating it with a biOrb water conditioner to remove chlorine and chloramines, which are toxic to fish. It’s also recommended to use a biOrb biological booster when cycling a new tank.
