Bioscape Police Box M 11 x 10.5 x 17.5cm
A moulded resin hideout with a hollow interior fish and shrimp actually use. The Bioscape Police Box M is a hand-finished aquarium ornament styled on the classic blue police telephone box, sized at 11 × 10.5 × 17.5 cm with an open interior cavity that gives smaller fish, shrimp and fry somewhere to retreat to.
Key features
- Hollow shelter, not just a shape — the interior is open, so it functions as a hide rather than a solid decorative block.
- Hand-finished resin — cast and painted individually, so colour and finish vary slightly piece to piece.
- Freshwater and marine safe — inert resin that won't leach into or affect water chemistry.
- Compact footprint — 11 × 10.5 × 17.5 cm suits nano and standard community tanks without dominating the layout.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for freshwater and marine display aquariums as a hide and visual feature, and for planted or paludarium-style setups where a novelty landmark piece suits the aquascape. Not designed or sold as a reptile or terrarium climbing feature — it's an aquatic ornament, and its resin finish isn't rated for basking heat.
Care and maintenance
Rinse thoroughly under running water before placing it in the tank to clear manufacturing dust and any loose resin particles. It doesn't need soaking or curing, and being inert it won't affect pH or hardness 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. The resin is inert and won't alter pH, hardness or other water parameters.
Is it safe for a marine or reef tank?
Bioscape markets it as safe for both freshwater and marine setups. As with any new ornament in a sensitive reef system, rinse it well and introduce it gradually if you're cautious about it.
Will fish and shrimp actually use the interior as a hide?
Yes — the police box is moulded with an open cavity rather than being a solid block, so smaller fish, shrimp and fry can move through and shelter inside it.
