Full details
The Rosewood Spanish Galleon is perfect for aquarium enthusiasts looking to create a dramatic, adventurous centerpiece in their tank. Measuring 34cm in length, this weathered shipwreck provides a stunning visual focal point for both tropical and coldwater setups; however, its size requires a medium-to-large tank to ensure there is still ample swimming room for your fish.

FAQs
Is this ornament safe for goldfish?
Yes, it is suitable for coldwater fish like goldfish, provided the tank size is large enough to accommodate both the fish and the decoration.
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
While intended for tropical and coldwater setups, it is generally inert, but you should verify that your specific marine environment won't affect the finish.
Does this ornament affect water pH?
No, it is made from non-toxic, aquarium-safe materials that are designed to be chemically neutral.
What is the exact length of the ship?
The Rosewood Spanish Galleon measures 34cm in length.
How do I remove trapped air inside?
Tilt the ornament underwater until air bubbles stop rising to the surface, ensuring the structure is fully submerged and stable.
Troubleshooting
Ornament keeps shifting or tipping over
Ensure the substrate is level beneath the ornament or press the base slightly into the gravel to anchor it.
Algae growing on the ship surface
Gently scrub the affected areas with an aquarium-safe soft-bristle brush during your routine water change.
Fish are hiding and won't come out
This is natural behavior for shy fish; ensure the ornament is placed in an area that still allows for visibility while maintaining a sense of security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before placing the galleon in your aquarium, rinse the ornament thoroughly under warm running water to remove any dust from shipping. Do not use soap or detergents, as these can leave harmful chemical residues. Once cleaned, place the ornament gently into the tank; it is recommended to place it while the tank is being filled to ensure air trapped inside the structure is released. For long-term care, lightly scrub the surface with a clean, dedicated aquarium brush during water changes to prevent excessive algae buildup. Always inspect the ornament for any sharp edges if it suffers impact damage over time.
