Aqueon vs Juilsioa Aquariums: Which Tank to Pick
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
Aqueon sells both bare glass tanks and complete starter kits, and Juilsioa sells a small glass betta kit. This page sets the listed volumes, footprints and included parts side by side. Where a listing contradicts itself, the conflict is shown instead of being resolved.
Volume is the first filter for a betta or a community fish, but the footprint decides whether the tank fits on the stand you have. The starter kits also add a filter, heater or light, and those parts change the real cost of the setup.
Quick answer
For a small betta setup under about two gallons, the Juilsioa kit is the only listing here at that size, at 1.6 gallons. For a larger glass tank without accessories, the Aqueon 20-gallon long tank is the match. The Aqueon 10-gallon and 20-gallon starter kits add a filter, a heater and a hood, but their bullet text describes a 10-gallon tank in both listings, which needs checking.

The table shows what each listing puts in its own fields. Two kit listings share the same bullet copy, which is covered in the section on conflicts below.
Aqueon 20 gallon long tank (B0H3MKJV7B)
Checked 2026-10-12. The spec table lists glass, a clear color, a 20-gallon tank volume, product dimensions of 30.25 inches long, 12.5 inches wide and 12.63 inches high, and an item weight of 24.6 pounds. The listing states freshwater and marine use, a limited five-year warranty, and fish as the pet type.
The listing describes a tank only. It does not list a hood, filter or heater, so each of those is a separate purchase. The bullets also give 34.0 by 16.2 by 17.0 inches and a net weight of 27.0 pounds, which differ from the spec table’s 30.25 by 12.5 by 12.63 inches and 24.6 pounds.
Juilsioa 1.6 gallon betta kit (B0HJYRTR6Z)
Checked 2026-10-12. The spec table gives a tank volume of 1.6 gallons, glass as the material, a classic style and a clear finish. The included components are one aquarium, two filter sponges, one water pump and a user manual. The highlight describes a 3-color LED, a 3-in-1 quiet filter pump, and a desktop nano aquarium for guppies, shrimp and goldfish.
The spec table does not give tank dimensions, but the bullets give 7.9 by 5.9 by 9.6 inches. The spec table gives a package size of 12.05 by 9.76 by 7.64 inches and a package weight of 5.56 pounds, which includes the packaging.
Aqueon 10 gallon starter kit (B0DT1VKK9S)
Checked 2026-10-20. The bullets describe a glass rectangular aquarium with a low-profile hood, cool white LED light and a feeding door, SmartClean internal filtration, an EcoRenew cartridge, a 50-watt preset heater that holds about 78 degrees, a thermometer, a fish net, fish food and a water conditioner. The spec table lists a 10-gallon tank volume, a filter in size small, and an item weight of 16.87 pounds.
The first bullet describes the kit for beginners and seasoned hobbyists, and the second bullet describes a 10-gallon glass rectangle aquarium. The spec table gives the item as 14 inches long, 23.75 inches wide and 16.5 inches high.
Aqueon 20 gallon starter kit (B0DT1NMX61)
Checked 2026-10-20. The spec table gives a 20-gallon tank volume, product dimensions of 27.5 inches long, 16 inches wide and 20.25 inches high, an item weight of 33.4 pounds, a medium SmartClean filter and a glass material. The model number is listed as 100552048.
The bullets are the same as those on the 10-gallon kit, including the sentence that describes a 10-gallon glass rectangle aquarium. The spec table is the only place this listing gives a 20-gallon figure, so the bullet text may be copied from the 10-gallon listing, and the seller should confirm the tank size.
How these products were chosen
The Aqueon 20-gallon tank and the Juilsioa kit come from the saved research file for this keyword. The two Aqueon starter kits were added as extras, because each is an Aqueon aquarium with stated volume and parts. All four are aquariums or aquarium kits, so none was dropped on product type.
For the volume question, see what size tank a betta should have. For the gallon question in more detail, the notes in how many gallons a betta tank needs cover the same range. For the setup of a 10-gallon tank, see a 10-gallon betta tank setup.
Worked example: footprint and volume from the listed dimensions
The 20-gallon Aqueon tank’s footprint is 30.25 by 12.5 inches, which is about 378 square inches. The 20-gallon starter kit’s stated size is 27.5 by 16 inches, which is about 440 square inches. Both are listed at 20 gallons, yet the kit covers roughly 62 more square inches of floor. The listing does not say whether its stated size includes the hood.
Weight is the second check. The bare 20-gallon tank lists 24.6 pounds, and the 20-gallon kit lists 33.4 pounds. The 8.8-pound gap is arithmetic on the two listed figures. The listings do not break the difference down into parts.
Where the listings disagree
The two Aqueon starter kits carry the same bullet copy. Both bullets describe a 10-gallon glass rectangle aquarium. The 10-gallon kit’s spec table gives 10 gallons, which matches its bullet. The 20-gallon kit’s spec table gives 20 gallons, which does not match the bullet.
The 20-gallon kit also lists an item weight of 33.4 pounds, while its bullets make no weight claim. The Juilsioa kit gives only a package weight, so its figure cannot be compared directly with the item weights of the Aqueon tanks.
What the listings do not say
The Juilsioa bullets give a 4-millimeter glass wall, but neither Aqueon listing gives a glass thickness. The Juilsioa listing does not say whether its filter sponges are replaced, and the Aqueon listings do not state the replacement schedule for the EcoRenew cartridge in terms of weeks or months.
The listings also do not state whether the heater or LED light draws a set number of watts beyond the 50-watt heater figure. The 50-watt heater is the only power rating on any of these pages.
Frequently asked questions
Which listing is the smallest tank here?
The Juilsioa kit is the smallest by volume, at 1.6 gallons. The Aqueon 10-gallon kit is the next smallest, at 10 gallons, and the two 20-gallon listings are the largest.
Does the Aqueon 20 gallon long tank include a hood?
No. Its listing describes a tank only, and the spec table does not list a hood, filter or heater. Those parts would be bought separately.
Are the two Aqueon starter kits the same tank?
The spec tables give different tank volumes, 10 gallons and 20 gallons, and different dimensions. The bullet text is identical on both listings and describes a 10-gallon aquarium, so the listings disagree.
What is included in the Juilsioa kit?
The listing includes one aquarium, two filter sponges, one water pump and a user manual. The highlight also mentions a 3-color LED.
Which listing should I check first?
Check the tank volume and dimensions in the spec table of the exact item, then confirm whether the hood, filter and heater are included. For either Aqueon kit, ask the seller to confirm the tank size.
Conclusion
The Aqueon 20-gallon long tank is the largest bare-tank option here, although its bullets and spec table disagree on size and weight, while the Juilsioa kit is the only small-volume option at 1.6 gallons. The two Aqueon starter kits add equipment, but their identical bullet text describes a 10-gallon tank, so confirm the volume on the 20-gallon kit before buying.
