Great addition to my aquarium. The catfish love the hollow part to hide in. It took a few days to sink after soaking, but now it’s stable. The water turned slightly brown, which I like because it looks more natural.

Works well as a natural-looking structure. I placed it in a planted tank and the fish use it for shelter. It floated a bit at first, but after soaking it settled properly.

Perfect for creating a natural habitat. The size is ideal for larger fish. After a week of soaking, it sank completely and the water color changed slightly, which I find appealing.
