The divided 64-liter Kallax aquarium , with overall dimensions of 68 × 38 × 25 cm, is perfectly designed for keeping and separating fighting fish. It consists of 4 compartments of approximately 16 liters each, making it ideal for selecting bred fighting fish. A great advantage is that the dimensions of the tank also fit directly into a Kallax shelf, allowing you to build a fantastic fighting fish breeding and rearing system that also looks really cool in the living room.
The individual compartments are bonded with opaque panels and also have a sponge on top, which can facilitate water exchange and filtration.
The dimensions of the aquarium are designed to match the internal dimensions of Kallax shelves. So, if you remove a partition, this shallow aquarium fits perfectly into your Kallax across two sections.
The aquarium is designed for breeding and selecting fighting fish, not for creating a classic underwater landscape. The individual 16-liter compartments can be decorated with small round stones and aquatic plants.
The individual compartments are not quite 16 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 14 liters.
The aquarium is intended for use in the IKEA Kallax shelf. Before placing it, check the dimensions, load-bearing capacity, and surface area of your specific shelf model. Also plan enough space for equipment, cables, and maintenance work.
The total load is determined by 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 shelf. Protect the furniture from splashes and escaping water.
The Kallax aquarium with a side length of 68 cm has a gross volume of 64 liters. Please note that decorations such as substrate and stones displace additional water, reducing the actual swimming space. Due to the filter chamber and the 4 compartments, each compartment has a volume of approximately 14 liters.
Yes, the aquarium already includes a sliding glass lid.
Example: VH/2TE/1FL denotes a lid with a front/back sliding direction, two equipment corners, and one feeding hole.
The aquarium is well packaged and delivered directly by 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.
