Betta fish originate from the warm climates of Southeast Asia and are usually found in rice paddies. As beautiful as they are to look at, your betta fish need a nice, warm hideout to enter when they feel stressed. The hollow log provides the ideal place for betta fish to swim in and out of. They can also stay in the dark cozy tunnel for a good night's sleep.

The fired ceramic surface is smooth and safe for your betta fish, and it is made to look like a natural piece of wood. The holes in the log can be used to attach aquarium plants to. The porous surface and plants provide nitrifying bacteria for optimal health of your tank and fish.

In their natural habitats, your gorgeous betta are used to stagnant water such as rice paddies and shallow puddles. An aquarium may have a strong current from your filtration system, which can upset betta fish. This log can break up currents, and will provide a pocket of calm water amidst the flow and movement in the tank.

Betta are known to be extremely territorial and this log is not just for decoration. It is the ideal hideout for when they feel stressed or threatened. Additionally, male fish will use the log to build a bubble nest. This is a great sign that they are happy, healthy and ready to mate.

The 4.7 x 3 x 3 inch log is also popularly used as a feeding and breeding ground for shrimp, crawfish and cichlids. You may find that even little furry pets like hamsters, love to use this as a tunnel to play in.
