Can fish hide inside the stump?

Troubleshooting

Ornament seems unstable

Ensure the aquarium substrate is level beneath the ornament's base. Gently press down to ensure it is firmly seated.

Algae growth on the ornament

Gently scrub the affected areas with a soft aquarium brush or sponge during your regular tank maintenance. A partial water change may also help.

Ornament blocks water flow

Slightly reposition the ornament to allow for better water circulation around it. Ensure it is not blocking the main filter intake.
