It also depends on the individual fish, some seem to like more water movement. I don't think the Explorer has a light, and Eclipse systems don't come with heaters. That might be something you want to take into consideration, for the difference in price maybe the Eclipse 3 would be better. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

If anyone actually has this exact eclipse explorer II with a betta in it please let me know what you think of it. Thanks
