Mini Aquarium Tank
Mini Aquarium Tank (Product Code: SLE/EZ/13) is a clear polystyrene pan used as a small, temporary aquarium for observing aquatic animals and plants in school biology lessons and field sessions. It has a rounded rim and is sturdy enough to use over and over, yet economical enough to discard after a messy experiment; ordering two lets one serve as a cover. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Mini Aquarium Tank Used For?
A clear, shallow tank lets a group watch pond snails, water fleas, tadpoles or insect larvae up close, from the side as well as from above. Teachers use these tanks for short observation sessions after pond dipping, for recording how animals move and feed, and for simple water-plant experiments on the classroom windowsill. Because each tank is inexpensive, every group can have its own instead of crowding around one large aquarium.
Fill the tank with pond water rather than tap water, and keep it out of direct sunlight so the water does not overheat. Polystyrene is not meant for hot liquids or solvent cleaners, so wash it with mild soap and cool water. When a lid is needed to keep in humidity or stop insects escaping, invert a second tank over the first. These tanks suit schools building up an ecology or environmental science kit on a modest budget.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of tanks, counting two per group if each tank needs a matching cover.
- Confirmation of the exact tank dimensions and wall thickness if they matter for your set-up.
- Any nets or trays you want with the tanks for the same field or lab session.
