Customers say
Customers find the aquarium ornaments visually appealing and perfect for betta fish, with good quality and value for money. The size receives mixed feedback, with some appreciating the variety of sizes while others find them too small. Moreover, the roughness and sharp edges are significant concerns, with customers reporting that the interior feels like sandpaper and the edges are extremely sharp around the holes. Additionally, the breakage aspect is negative, with customers noting that the medium rocks shatter easily and can tear delicate fins.

Before Purchasing
Alright so for me personally, these are great. At this of purchasing they’re over half the cost of the same product at the Big Box Pet Stores, super heavy, large enough for my fish to use*, and the fish love ’em.(* dwarf cichlids, corydoras, plecos, and juvenile festivums. Any of the more streamline cichlids such as africans would absolutely fit in the standalone medium or larger. Anything bigger than a julie will probably not fit in the small/medium combo, and the small I use for a plant weight. Cute but useless.)That said, depending on what type of fish you have, this might not be the best choice. Something like a betta or fancy guppy with those long draping fins, I would look for something ceramic. Also depending on how willing you are to get a few scrapes while taking sandpaper to the openings and inside, same. These are very course, and if they scrape skin (these do) then it’s rough enough to scrape the scales of an active fish. However with a few scraped knuckles and some course sandpaper I got them smooth enough in about ten, fifteen minutes tops.Worth it to me, personally, because these are sturdy and large enough for my corydoras to gather up in a little piles as they prefer to do, and the price is worth the effort of sanding.

Fun for you and the fish. Great decoration and hiding spots.
Great and decorative. The fish and critters love hiding in them. They are fun to stack and decorate fish tanks with.

Good Product
Good product overall. Two major flaws. 1) It’s rough on the inside / outside and requires some minor buffing out to make smooth. 3) Need darker color options like brown or black.

Super durable and long lasting!
I bought two packs of these in 2016 and only 2 of the individual caves have broken. I’d say I’ve had them in the water 90% of that time, but they have been taken out and dried a couple of times when i rearranged a few times and moved another time. Definitely worth every penny. I’ve had them in with African cichlids in super high pH, and with South American in low pH. Oscar’s have knocked them off flower pots and the African cichlids knocked them over chasing each other around. A lot of the decorations from petco broke during our moving and the ones that did break from these were broken by me when I dropped them (lol)

Good for Bettas — Read Review First!
I recommend this stone for betta fish BUT…. as it is, it is not completely safe. The stone is very rough and will tear their fins. However, some people have hand sanded these stones to smooth them out. Quite time consuming! I agree, this stone needs sanding if you’re planning on using it in a tank that houses a betta. If you want to save time and complete the sanding easily, USE A DREMEL! It works fast and does a great job. One person said it took them 1 hour to get the stone smooth enough using sandpaper by hand. Another said right at 30 min. of constant sanding. I used my Dremel and completed the job in 5 minutes!! It is now as smooth as a babies bottom both inside and out and at the entry and exit points. My beta LOVES this stone. She uses it to nap in and play in and out of. It’s heavy, sturdy, and attractive. It did not fade, crack, or lose any color by sanding it. It’s heavy enough too. Not cheap. I am 100% satisfied.

White film all over after a week
I received the package of 8 rocks/caves and it was packaged very well. Each one was individually wrapped in bubble wrap and all arrived in great condition. I did not notice any odors coming from the items. The rocks/caves have sharp areas. I thoroughly rinsed them and was able to get rid of some of the sharper sections, but they still had some rougher areas than I like. I did place them in the take and thought they looked great, especially with the blue night LEDs on. About a week later I noticed a little white film almost like stretched cotton on one of them, but not any other decor in the tank. As I looked closer, it was all over everyone and inside the medium and large rocks/caves it was almost piles of white filmy cotton stuff (not sure how else to explain). I immediately took them out which caused the white ‘stuff’ to start to come off into the tank. As I was pulling them out, they had a strange odor. I went online to check and agree that it resembles a glue smell. Very disappointed as it started off so promising and I am out a decent chunk of change.

Get your Dremel out but still a nice product.
Itâs true as previous buyers noted regarding the rough edges around the port holes and insides. The Penn Plax LG and X-LG I received from Amazon were really rough around the port holes and on the inside. I previously bought two of the Penn Plax LG and SM at my local pet store which were more expensive because heâs an independant aquarium store but they were smooth all around. I thought I would try Amazon since they were lower in price and I needed a few more. The ones I received from Amazon were not in the Penn Plax box so Iâm assuming these may be rejects from Penn Plax thus the lower price. I didnât want to return so I got my Dremel out and sanded them downâ¦much easier than a sheet of sandpaper which some folks used. Yes they look more like fake rocks but great for my Clown Loaches and Electric Blue Acara to play, run or hide and easier to clean around and a great addition with the wood and plants I also have in my 75 gallon.

My Beta loves it!
Super awesome. Looks really great in the tank. Item as described. High quality. Perfect fit.

Rough surface, but not what I would characterize as critically dangerous to fish. Rough sand paper like surface, rough, but no very sharp piercing edges.They look good. I got the 8 piece set, no two pieces are identical which is nice. The finish comes naturally from the material used. It is not a simple surface treatment, like paint, used to make the item look like granite, rather this is made of many black and white pieces of resin sand fused together, so the color is inherent to the material. If a piece chipped off, underneath it would keep the same look.Just finished setting up my Aquarium. They look good in the mix of props….. I hope my Java moss does not continue to burn 🙁 cannot tell if it is light intensity or seachem excel overdose 🙁 :(….Anyways, I plan on having small schooling fish who do not generally rest on bottom of the tank, mainly ember tetra, celestial danios, and cherry barbs, so the rough texture of stones wont be an issue. If you have kuhli loaches, or pleco, or other fish that spend a lot of time resting on the substrate, I wouldnt say this item is an absolute “no no”, but keep an eye out to see if they are being hurt by sandpaper like surface of rocks, doubtful, but possible.Overall a very good item, good compromise of realistic finish and function. Only detraction is the roughness of the surface. I have seen other bathroom items do fake granite in the same method, and they sand the surface to make it much smoother. I imagine the same process could have been applied to this product. That said, the rough texture does add a certain rock like dynamic to the appearance that may be lost if it was perfectly smooth, so who knows.

Nada más meterlo en el acuario ya se notó que va soltando micro piedrecitas que se le despegan, que ensucian el agua y perjudican a los peces. No entiendo como venden este tipo de artÃculos para acuarios.
