Fiction! on Fish & Aquatic Pets

Our cock liked it the first time! After 10 minutes he was already in the log and scurrying around him. The only thing you need to know is that it's big. We have a 5 gallon tank and the mini size takes up most of the surface area. This is not a problem and the product works exactly as described. I wish there was an even smaller "mini" magazine. Overall a great product!

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Maybe not for veiltails.

My cock fell in love with her right away. As for the log damaging the betta's fins, it really depends on what type of fins your betta has. and from a log, as none of its fins touch the log while swimming through it. However, veiltails trail their caudal fins along the base of the tree trunk, which is probably why there are so many of these complaints. for when you have smaller fish with short fins. Look for another product if you are dealing with delicate fins.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Definitely an interesting object for my Betta!

This tribe of wild roosters was by far the most "curiosity-inspiring" decoration I've added to his aquarium. He usually takes a look at what I add and then moves on. But he was circling over this clock! He must be really intrigued! I will let you know if anything goes wrong but so far I am very happy with this purchase. The aquarium is a 3.5 gallon tank and the magazine is a "mini version" for those looking for sizing information. I'm not entirely sure why Revain encourages me to mention…

Perfect Floating Betta Log

I rinsed the log under warm running water for a minute and gently scrubbed with my hands to remove any loose top black particles of paint. After that I had no more problems with celebrations. The box also recommends washing it first. My Betta loves it. Sometimes she sleeps in it (she turns over, sleeps in it and on her betta sheet). I have an artificial bamboo plant that I put right in front of it so a bamboo stalk holds the tree trunk to the back of the tank so it doesn't float with the…

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Obsolete

Unnecessarily bulky and not suitable for a lidded aquarium

I have a 20 gallon swim tank with a fluorescent dome and the lid won't close because it's sticking out of the water. I guess that would be fine for some settings, but I'm quite surprised they call this thing "Mini", maybe they mean when the big guy is called "Kid". It just seems a lot bigger than it should be. It's well done, I only had to sand down a few rough edges, that's good. I wish I could rate it higher, but since I can't use it at all and it's $10 down the drain, it's hard to justify…

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Doubtful

Must have - Betta LOVES it - great for any tank

My Betta Crescent, Roy (named for his royal blue color) LOVES THIS FLOATING LOG. I've tried other hides and landscapes, but this log gave him so much joy. He will dangle in it, walk through it when playing, rub against the outside next to him, hide between him and the tank when he swims to the side. So lucky for Roy! In terms of quality, I kept him in his tank for over a month and had no problems with it. As for cleaning, I think it will be easy, although my snails will take care of it…

Pros
  • Great overall
Cons
  • Out of style

The air smells unpleasant at first

My cock likes it. She likes to be here and feels safe and protected from prying eyes. He works as he says he will. Floats in water with a small hole in the top to allow the betta to breathe. However, when I first received this product I was very unhappy as it smelled strongly of chemicals. I rinsed it well with water and soaked it in a bucket of salt water. When I got back to him there was a ton of black paint floating in the water that had come off the log. I wasn't happy with the copious…

Life like & betta liked it straight away!

After receiving the "log house" I rinsed it thoroughly and left it in a water bath overnight, rinsed again late in the morning and put it in around noon the tank. (This is standard good practice for aquariums, also there was a very very faint smell of plastic, I couldn't smell it but other reviewers did mention it so a very thorough rinse was a good idea to wash off some of the novelty - only in the event of). It only took Master Betta 30 seconds to explore his new home! He looks really cute…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
