"I bought these for my halloween aquarium. They look really cool and are great for small aquariums. They offer some hides if you get semi-aggressive fish. They are about 3 inches and are weighted so they stay in place really well."

"This got delivered August 20th, it is now September 2nd, so it's been less that 2 weeks. I went to go feed my fish and I seen that mold was growing around the pumpkin, we've had this fish for 5 or 6 years and it has been in the same (present) tank for about 3 years. Nothing like this has ever happen..."
