Bioscape Dragon Head 12 x 13 x 14cm
A dramatic swim-through dragon head for freshwater and marine display tanks. The Bioscape Dragon Head is a 12 x 13 x 14cm cast ornament with a wide, open jaw that doubles as a cave, giving shy fish somewhere to dart into and giving the aquascape a striking focal point.
Key features
- Open-jaw swim-through — the mouth cavity is large enough for small to medium fish to pass through and shelter in.
- Cast detail — scales, teeth and horn texture are moulded in, so the piece reads as a sculpture rather than a smooth toy from any angle.
- Compact footprint — at 12 x 13 x 14cm it suits nano and standard tanks alike without dominating the layout.
- Fresh and saltwater safe — inert once rinsed, so it won't affect pH, hardness or salinity.

Will it fit my tank?
At 12cm long and 14cm tall, the Dragon Head suits most nano through to standard community tanks. Measure your intended spot before ordering if your aquascape is tightly planted or your tank is under 30cm in any dimension — a piece this size will read as a dominant feature rather than a background detail in very small tanks.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for: freshwater and marine aquariums, as a cave, hide or focal ornament.
- Not suitable for: tanks holding species that need soft, snag-free substrate contact only — check the mouth opening against your fish before relying on it as a primary hide for larger-bodied species.
Care and maintenance
Rinse thoroughly in clean water before adding it to the tank to clear any manufacturing dust. It won't dissolve or leach, so it needs no ongoing maintenance beyond an occasional algae wipe if it clouds up.
Goes well with
Pairs naturally with driftwood and rockwork for a layered aquascape, and with live or artificial plants positioned around the base to soften the transition from cave mouth to substrate.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law against manufacturing faults. Ships as a standard small parcel.
Common questions
Is the Dragon Head safe for marine tanks?
Yes. It's an inert cast ornament that won't affect salinity, pH or hardness in either freshwater or marine setups.
Will fish actually swim through the mouth?
Most community fish will use it as a cave and swim-through once they've settled in, though shier or larger-bodied species may only use it as a hide rather than a thoroughfare.
Does it need to be soaked before use?
No soaking is required — a rinse to clear dust is enough. Unlike driftwood, it won't leach tannins or affect water colour.
