Zoo Med Steampunk Ornament Fish 13cm
Zoo Med Steampunk Ornament Fish 13cm
A hand-painted steampunk fish your tank inhabitants can actually explore. The Zoo Med Steampunk Ornament Fish is a 13 cm decoration built for aquariums and terrariums alike, adding a steampunk-styled feature piece with enough surface detail that fish and reptiles have something new to investigate.
Key features
- 13 cm hand-painted ornament — each piece is finished by hand, so the paintwork carries natural variation rather than a flat, machine-printed look.
- Dual-habitat design — rated for both aquarium and terrarium use, so it moves between setups if you rescape.
- Sized for smaller tanks — detailed enough to be a feature piece without dominating a nano or standard-sized enclosure.
- Enrichment value — gives curious tank inhabitants a new surface and shape to explore, alongside the decorative appeal.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for community aquariums, planted tanks, and reptile or amphibian terrariums as a feature ornament. Not a full hide — it's a surface feature rather than an enclosed cave for shy or burrowing fish that need complete cover.
Care and maintenance
Rinse the ornament in clean water before adding it to your aquarium. Scrub gently with a soft brush to remove algae as it builds up. Avoid soap or detergents, which can leave residue in aquarium water.
Goes well with
Other pieces in Zoo Med's Steampunk Ornament range — Shark, Helmet Octopus, Skull, Starfish and Submarine — for a matching feature set within the one tank.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Zoo Med's standard manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Common questions
Is this ornament safe for a saltwater or reef tank?
Zoo Med markets it for general aquarium and terrarium use without specifying reef-safe materials, so if you're running a reef tank, check with Zoo Med directly before adding it rather than assume.
Will the paint come off in water?
The finish is designed for aquarium use, but like any painted ornament, gentle rinsing and a soft brush for algae will keep it looking its best for longer than a stiff scrub.
Can I use it in a terrarium as well as an aquarium?
Yes — Zoo Med rates this piece for both aquarium and terrarium use, so it works whether you keep fish or reptiles.
