Bioscape Pickup Truck 15.5 x 7.5 x 8cm
A weathered pickup truck ornament that gives shrimp and small fish somewhere to disappear into. The Bioscape Pickup Truck is a 15.5 × 7.5 × 8 cm cast ornament from Bioscape's Decor & Ornaments range, styled as a rustic, timeworn ute with an open cab and tray that double as a shelter.
Key features
- Detailed cast finish – moulded and hand-finished for a weathered, rustic look, so texture and colour vary slightly piece to piece.
- Open cab and tray – the truck's cavities give small fish, shrimp and fry somewhere to retreat and feel secure.
- Aquarium-safe – part of Bioscape's wider ornament range, designed to sit in the display without affecting water chemistry.

Will it fit my tank?
At 15.5 cm long and 8 cm tall, this sits comfortably in nano and small-to-mid aquariums as a feature piece, and works equally well as a stand-alone ornament in a larger tank. Measure your available floor space before ordering if you're working with a tightly aquascaped layout.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for freshwater and marine aquarium displays where a shelter-style ornament is wanted. Not designed or finished as a reptile or terrarium climbing feature – it's an aquatic ornament rather than terrarium decor.
Care and maintenance
Rinse under running water before placing it in the tank to clear any manufacturing dust or loose particles from the cast finish. It's inert once installed and needs no ongoing maintenance beyond a normal algae wipe if algae builds up on the surface over time.
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 an inert ornament 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.
Will fish and shrimp actually use it?
The open cab and tray give smaller fish and shrimp somewhere to shelter, though how much a particular fish uses it depends on the species and the rest of the tank's cover.
Does the colour or texture vary between pieces?
Yes – as a cast, hand-finished ornament, small variations in colour and surface texture between individual pieces are normal and part of the weathered look.
