Leaf Hammock?

[caitic10]

I was thinking about getting a leaf hammock for my new betta.

Do they work well? Do you reccomend them?

leaf hammoks suck your betta wont sleep on it only one of my bettas did but it sank five seconds later it is a rip off wast of money

yeah ive only caught my betta on it one time.... usually he just connects his bubblenest to it, other than that, big old waste of money!

i got one and was wondering the same thing lol

I've never heard of a leaf hammock. I googled them and they're adorable, but I don't see how they could be practical. Fish love to hide, Bettas are no different. :)

It depends upon the individual betta whether or not they like it. Here's a recent thread with other user experiences as well as important notes about safety:

There is a danger the wire may hurt or kill a fish (no joke) so you should take precautions when using hammocks. The thread I've linked to goes into this in detail.

I have a hammock in my tank that I've gooed up with aq sealant as a precaution. Flambé seems to like it, but not as much as other bettas. This of course could be because I keep changing his tank around and there's so much new stuff to explore, lol :D

My betta LOVES his leaf hammock! The suction cup quit working so I had to rig up a new one. I cannot say that every betta will use it but mine lounges in it all the time. It is ADORABLE! I got him to start using it by feeding him on it.

I made mine. I have two of them, and the fish who "own" them love them!

These are the best I could do for pictures. But I am sure you get the idea.
