Details
- Complex, flowing root structures with deep bark texture.
- A large central cave with several smaller entry points for fish, shrimp, amphibians or reptiles.
- In aquariums, secure retreats help reduce stress, especially for bettas, cichlids, plecos and shrimp. In terrariums it doubles as a humid hide or enrichment feature.
- Wide footprint and low profile for stable placement on substrate.
- Blends naturally with plants, driftwood and stone layouts, as a centrepiece in smaller tanks or an accent in larger builds.
Where it works
Planted and freshwater aquariums, betta, cichlid, pleco and shrimp tanks, terrariums, paludariums, and wargaming and D&D terrain.
Colours
First choose a finish (Basic, Matte, Marble, Sparkly/Galaxy/Metallic or Glow-in-the-Dark), then pick a colour from that finish. Sparkly/Galaxy/Metallic includes our Galaxy, Sparkly and Metallic colours. There are 89 PETG colours in total, and the colour charts at the end of the photos show each one. Want something that is not listed? Contact us and we will try to source it.
Quality and care
Printed slowly at high resolution with thick walls, so it is sturdier than most printed decor. Fine layer lines and small variations are normal and make each piece unique. PETG is non-toxic and easy to clean with soap or alcohol. Colours can look slightly different on screen.
Good to know
-
Anchoring in an aquarium: Bond the base to a flat stone or acrylic sheet with aquarium-safe silicone, or with hot glue or cyanoacrylate superglue specifically suitable for aquarium use. Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s surface preparation and full curing instructions before placing it in the aquarium. Where the design allows, a few small holes through the underside into enclosed air pockets let water in and air out, reducing buoyancy.
- Measure the inside of your enclosure before ordering, and leave a little room for installation.
- Some photos show hand-painted examples. This piece ships unpainted.
