Rank #4 in Best Fish Tank 2026: 10 Ranked, £99.99 Buys 20 or 54 Litres
Superfish Start 30 Aquarium, 25 L, Black
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Superfish Start 30 is a 25-litre glass aquarium sold as a complete kit — LED lighting, an internal filter, a Superfish Eco heater, plus water conditioner, fish food, a net and a thermometer — for £72.95. It takes fourth place in this guide with 4.5 out of 5 from 456 ratings, and the specification gives an item weight of 5.74 kg, which is at least a figure a 25-litre glass tank could plausibly have. Two other listings in this guide carry shelf weights of 200 g and 136 g for much larger tanks; this one does not have that problem.
What this listing cannot do is agree with itself on the tank's shape. The bullet description gives the dimensions as 36cm x 22cm x 37cm (LxWxH). The specification table gives 37L x 22W x 36H centimetres. The same two figures, 36 and 37, are handed to the length and to the height in opposite ways, so one of those two lines is wrong about which side is longer. The capacity is not in dispute: the title, the bullet description and the Tank Volume field all say 25 litres. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing of our own.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“everything just as advertised sent on time no problems”
Verified purchase“Great little started kit. We have a large tank in the house but our son wanted one of his own. This is set up in his room, it comes with everything needed to set the tank up. It looks great, is a perfect size for a starter tank and as a full kit I think it is good value for money. Just need to add your decorative items, and fish!”

Questions people ask
How much water does the Superfish Start 30 hold?
The product title says 25L, the bullet calls it a 25L complete setup and the specification table gives a Tank Volume of 25 litres. All three agree.
Why does the listing show two different sets of dimensions?
The bullet gives 36cm x 22cm x 37cm (LxWxH) and the specification table gives 37L x 22W x 36H centimetres. The width matches at 22cm, but the 36 and the 37 swap between the length and the height depending on which line you read.
What is included with the Superfish Start 30?
The bullet lists LED lighting, an internal filter, a Superfish Eco heater and accessories including water conditioner, fish food, a fish net and a thermometer. The specification's Included Components field lists only 'led,led light'.
How many buyer ratings does it have?
The listing reports 4.5 out of 5 from 456 ratings, but the star breakdown shown on the page adds up to 100 ratings, 73 of them five-star.
Does the '30' in Superfish Start 30 mean 30 litres?
Nothing in the listing explains the 30. The title, the bullet and the Tank Volume specification all give 25 litres, and the Set Name is 'Superfish Start 30'.
What warranty is stated?
The listing gives a 1 year manufacturer warranty.
