Common questions
Is it safe for a planted aquarium?
Yes, it's designed for aquarium use. Rinse under clean water and scrub gently with a soft brush before adding it, as Zoo Med recommends for the whole range.
Can I use it in a terrarium instead?
Yes, Zoo Med markets this ornament for both aquariums and terrariums, so it can be used dry or submerged.
Will it float once submerged?
It's described as sitting flat rather than floating, but weight isn't published, so check it sits securely on your substrate before stocking the tank.
What is it made from?
Zoo Med hasn't published the exact material. It's sold as an inert aquarium and terrarium decoration rather than a functional item.
