Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The Superfish Start 70 is an aquarium-and-stand set sitting at number 8 in this guide, listed at £148.94 with a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 41 ratings. It is sold as a complete setup: the listing says it arrives supplied with energy-efficient LED lighting, an internal filter, an aquarium heater, water preparation, a fish net and an aquarium thermometer.

The reason it sits here rather than higher up is the numbers on the page. The specification table gives a Tank Volume of 70 Litres, while a bullet on that same listing says "Capacity 60 litres" — a 10-litre gap between two lines of one product page, and the tank volume is the thing you are paying for. That same specification also gives an Item Weight of 200 g, which is not a plausible shelf weight for a tank listed at 58 cm long and 45 cm high. Everything on this page is quoted from the Amazon listing; we have not tested the Superfish Start 70 ourselves.

What buyers actually say

Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon

Verified purchase

“Really like this aquarium and that it comes complete with filter, heater and all things to get it up and running. The only niggle I have is that you have to take the whole lid off to do water changes/maintenanceInstead of just flipping it up which makes the condensation drip everywhere apart from that would recommend”

“Can I just get a replacement light as it arrived smashed? Instead of sending back the whole thing?”
