Honest Aquarium is reader-supported. When you buy a product after clicking a link on this site, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This never affects which products we recommend or how we rank them.
How this works
We link to retailers like Amazon and Chewy because that’s usually the easiest way to buy the gear we cover. Some of those links are affiliate links, which means the retailer pays us a small referral fee if you make a purchase. Prices are set entirely by the retailer — we never mark anything up, and clicking a link never costs you anything extra.
Our picks are never for sale
No manufacturer or retailer can pay to be included in a “best of” list, and a product’s ranking is never influenced by whether it has an affiliate program. See our How We Choose page for the actual method behind our recommendations.
Prices and availability
We show relative price bands ($–$$$$) rather than fixed prices, because retailer prices change constantly and we’d rather be accurate than precise-looking. Always check the retailer’s page for current pricing and stock.
Fish health content
Anything touching fish health, medication, or water chemistry is general information based on research and reputable aquarist and aquatic-veterinary sources — it is not veterinary advice. If a fish in your care seems unwell, please consult an aquatic veterinarian.
