— Heather

"This is perfect for our foot long plecostomus, we tried multiple others and none were as perfect as this one!"

— Michael

"Bought this for my axolotl to give him a second, bigger hide. Almost immediately the colored coating began chipping off. Now I need to vacuum and sift through and suck up all of these little flecks throughout the aquarium; very let down, would not recommend for water habitats."

Bottom Line

Ideal for fish hiding, but buyers should be aware of the potential sharp edges and durability problems.
