Bioscape Moss Water Pipes 11 x 8cm
Rustic terracotta-style pipework sized for nano tanks and small hideaways. The Bioscape Moss Water Pipes are hand-finished, non-toxic resin ornaments at 11 × 8 cm, cast with open channels and moss detailing so fish and shrimp have somewhere to duck through and hide.
Key features
- Hand-finished resin — cast and hand-painted, texture and colour vary slightly piece to piece.
- Multiple openings — several through-channels rather than a single tunnel, so more than one fish or shrimp can use it at once.
- Compact footprint — sized to sit comfortably in a nano tank without dominating the scape.
- Moss-covered detailing — faux moss built into the resin, not a separate applied layer that can peel off.

Which size do I need?
This is the smaller of the two Water Pipes ornaments Bioscape sells. Pick this 11 × 8 cm size for nano tanks, shrimp colonies and betta setups where a larger piece would crowd the scape; the 19 × 13 cm Large version suits bigger community and cichlid tanks where a bolder centrepiece works better.
| Size | Dimensions | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Water Pipes (this product) | 11 × 8 cm | Nano tanks, shrimp, bettas |
| Water Pipes Large | 19 × 13 cm | Community and cichlid tanks |
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for freshwater and marine nano aquariums where a smaller hideaway piece is needed. Not intended as the sole hiding spot in a heavily stocked cichlid tank — the Large version has more internal volume for that.
Care and maintenance
Rinse thoroughly under running water before adding it to the tank to clear manufacturing dust or loose resin particles. No soaking or curing required — it's inert and won't affect pH or water chemistry.
Warranty and delivery
Covered against manufacturing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Common questions
Will it affect my water chemistry?
No — it's a non-toxic, inert resin that doesn't alter pH or hardness.
Does it float or sink?
It sinks and sits in place on the substrate; no gluing or weighting down is needed for normal use.
How many fish can use it at once?
The multiple through-openings mean more than one fish or a small shrimp group can shelter in it at the same time, though the compact 11 × 8 cm size limits it to smaller-bodied species.
Is it reef safe?
Bioscape markets it as safe for both freshwater and marine setups; rinse well and introduce gradually in a sensitive reef system if you're being cautious.
