Bioscape Space Robot 9.5 x 7.5 x 11.5cm
A retro-styled robot figure with an open chest cavity fish and shrimp can shelter in. The Bioscape Space Robot 9.5 x 7.5 x 11.5cm is a hand-painted resin ornament styled as a sci-fi robot, sized to sit as a stand-alone feature piece or as part of a themed aquascape in a nano to mid-size freshwater or marine tank.
Key features
- Hand-painted resin — cast and finished by hand, so colour and texture vary slightly piece to piece.
- Open chest cavity — a hollow recess sized for small fish and shrimp to use as a hide.
- Aquarium-safe finish — non-toxic resin, rated for both freshwater and marine setups.
- Stable footprint — sits directly on substrate without needing to be buried or weighted down.

Will it fit my tank?
At 11.5 cm tall and 9.5 x 7.5 cm at the base, this sits comfortably in a nano tank as a centrepiece or in a larger aquascape as a supporting feature. Leave enough clearance around it for fish to pass through the chest cavity without brushing plants or hardscape.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums where a sci-fi themed piece with a usable hide suits the layout. Not sold or finished as a reptile climbing or basking feature — it's an aquatic ornament only.
Care and maintenance
Rinse thoroughly under running water before adding it to the tank to clear any manufacturing dust or loose resin particles. It's inert once rinsed and won't affect pH or water hardness.
Goes well with
- Bioscape Space Station 14 x 22 x 14cm — a taller centrepiece from the same sci-fi series for a coordinated aquascape.
- Bioscape Space Station White 14 x 14 x 14cm — a lighter-coloured companion piece for contrast against dark substrate.
- Bioscape Space Robot 9.5 x 9.8cm — a smaller robot figure to scatter through the same scape.

Common questions
Will it affect my water chemistry?
No — it's a non-toxic, inert resin that doesn't alter pH or hardness once rinsed.
Is it reef safe?
Bioscape markets it as safe for both freshwater and marine setups, but as with any new ornament in a sensitive reef system, rinse it well and introduce it gradually if you're being cautious.
Will fish actually use the chest cavity as a hide?
Small fish and shrimp readily use open cavities like this one for cover; larger fish may be too big to fit through.
