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.

Decoration ideas for your betta aquarium in a Kallax shelving unit
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.
Placement in a Kallax shelving unit
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.
