FAQs

Is this ornament safe for all types of fish?

Yes, the ornament is made from 100% non-toxic and fish-safe materials, making it suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

Does it come with an air pump?

No, the ornament includes the bubbler and airline connector, but the air pump and airline tubing need to be purchased separately.

What are the dimensions of the ornament?

The approximate dimensions are 14cm in length, 10cm in width, and 17cm in height.

Can this be used in a turtle tank or terrarium?

Yes, it is suitable for wet terrariums and can be used in turtle tanks as long as it is securely placed and does not pose a hazard to the turtle.

How do I clean the ornament?

Rinse with aquarium water during water changes. For tougher algae, gently scrub with a soft brush. Avoid soaps and detergents.

Will the color fade over time?

The materials are designed for aquatic use, and the colors are generally stable. However, prolonged exposure to harsh lighting or chemicals could potentially cause fading over extended periods.

Can small fry or shrimp hide inside?

Yes, the internal chamber is designed to provide refuge for small inhabitants like fry, shrimp, or small fish species.

Troubleshooting

Bubbler not producing bubbles

Check that the airline tubing is securely connected to both the ornament and the air pump. Ensure the air pump is functioning and the airline is not kinked or blocked. Verify the water level is not too high, which can cause backflow into the pump.

Ornament floating or unstable

Ensure the ornament is fully submerged. If it's still unstable, you may need to add a small amount of aquarium-safe gravel or substrate inside the head chamber to add weight, ensuring it doesn't obstruct the bubbler.

Algae or discoloration on the ornament

Perform a partial water change and gently scrub the ornament with a soft brush under aquarium water. For severe cases, remove the ornament, clean it with aquarium-safe tools, rinse thoroughly, and consider a short soak in dechlorinated water before returning it to the tank.

Fish seem stressed around the ornament

Ensure the ornament has no sharp edges. Check that the bubbles from the bubbler are not overly aggressive for the tank inhabitants. Provide other hiding places if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Rinse the ornament thoroughly under cool, running water to remove any dust or debris.
  2. Connect the included airline tubing to the bubbler's nozzle inside the head.
  3. Connect the other end of the airline tubing to your air pump (sold separately).
  4. Place the ornament in your desired aquarium location.
  5. Submerge the ornament completely and ensure the airline is routed to avoid kinks.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

  • Can be used in wet terrariums.
  • Requires a standard air pump and airline tubing.

Care:
