Product Information
Full details
The Aqua One Strawberry Fairy Floating Aquarium Ornament is ideal for hobbyists looking to add a whimsical, fantasy-inspired aesthetic to their aquatic environment. Its primary benefit is the dynamic, life-like floating movement that creates the illusion of flight, though users should note that its small size (4 x 4 x 8cm) makes it better suited for nano or medium-sized tanks rather than large display aquariums.

FAQs
Is this ornament safe for a Betta fish?
Yes, the ornament is made from non-toxic materials and has no sharp edges, making it safe for long-finned fish like Bettas.
Does the ornament come with its own suction cup?
The ornament utilizes a floating ball system rather than a fixed suction cup, allowing it to move freely with the water current.
Will the paint fade over time?
While the ornament is designed for underwater use, like all aquarium decor, some minor fading may occur over many years due to light exposure and biological growth.
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
This product is specifically designed for coldwater and tropical freshwater aquariums; salt concentrations may affect the materials over time.
How do I adjust the height of the fairy?
You can change the length of the clear string attached to the floating ball to control how high or low the fairy hangs in the water column.
Troubleshooting
The ornament is drifting too close to the surface
Adjust the tether length to increase the depth of the floating ball or move the ornament to an area with lower water flow.
The ornament keeps getting stuck on plants
Trim nearby aquatic plants or move the ornament to a more open section of the tank to prevent entanglement.
Algae is covering the ornament
Gently scrub the surface with a clean, soft-bristled brush while performing your next water change, using only tank water.
