The divided 84-liter Kallax aquarium, with overall dimensions of 76 × 38 × 35 cm, is perfectly designed for keeping and separating bettas. It consists of 4 compartments of approximately 17 liters each, making it ideal for selecting and breeding betta offspring. A great bonus is that the tank's dimensions fit perfectly into a Kallax shelving unit, allowing you to build a fantastic betta breeding and rearing setup that also looks really cool in your living room.
The individual compartments are sealed with opaque panels and also feature a sponge on top, which can facilitate water exchange and filtration.
The aquarium's dimensions are designed to match the internal dimensions of Kallax shelving units. So, if you remove a divider, this shallow aquarium fits perfectly across two sections of your Kallax.
The aquarium is designed for breeding and selecting bettas, not for creating a traditional underwater landscape. The individual 17-liter compartments can be decorated with small round stones and aquatic plants.
The individual compartments are not quite 20 liters in size, as a filter chamber with a 3-chamber filter is hidden behind them to filter all compartments. This means each compartment holds approximately 17 liters.
The aquarium is designed for use in an IKEA Kallax shelving unit. Before placing it, check the dimensions, load-bearing capacity and surface area of your specific shelving unit model. Also allow sufficient space for equipment, cables and maintenance.
The total load is calculated based on the fully equipped aquarium. Take into account the tank, water, substrate, stones and accessories. Neither Terra-Natur nor IKEA accepts liability for the load-bearing capacity of the shelving unit. Protect the furniture from splashes and escaping water.
The Kallax aquarium with a side length of 76 cm has a gross volume of 84 liters. Please note that decorations such as substrate and stones will displace additional water and reduce the actual swimming space. Due to the filter chamber and the 4 compartments, each compartment has a volume of approximately 17 liters.
Yes, a glass lid is already included with the aquarium.
Example: VH/2TE/1FL indicates a lid with a front/back sliding direction, two equipment corners and one feeding hole.
The aquarium is carefully packaged and delivered directly from the aquarium builder. Delivery is normally carried out via a parcel service.

With the right selection of aquatic plants, you can also make small aquariums appear significantly larger. For small aquariums, we also recommend using finer plants. Rotala or Ludwigia species are suitable as stem plants for the background here. This prevents the tank from looking overcrowded. A larger-leaved eye-catcher is allowed to introduce a different leaf shape.
Small aquariums can be beautifully landscaped with a small rock formation and suitable small roots. They should be planted predominantly with fine-leaved plants such as compact Anubias, Cryptocorynes, or various mosses. Fine stem plants or needle leeks are also a good option.
Tall aquariums offer a major advantage in terms of overall design flexibility. Larger roots and broad-leaved aquatic plants such as Java fern can be used here. A classic Vallisneria spiralis comes into its own in the background, as does a Ludwigia. The foreground can be landscaped with Monte Carlo pearlwort, cryptocorynes, needle moss, dwarf sword plants or Staurogyne repens.
Shallow aquariums are ideal for recreating a great underwater stream. Fine sand and many round river stones of different sizes can be used to create a natural structure. At the same time, hardy, low-growing aquatic plants such as Cryptocoryne, dwarf sword plants, or Brazilian grass provide optimal planting for such shallow aquariums. When properly set up, these tanks are ideal for catfish and shrimp, which do not necessarily require height.
