floating betta log

[happypappy]

Has anyone had any experience with zoomed's betta log?

People here say they are great and bettas use them a lot. PetCo doesn't have them, at least mine doesn't but I've seen them at PetSmart. I'll be getting one.

Same here. I hear a lot of good things. Only see them at petsmart, though.

Also plan on getting one! They're about 12 bucks where I live.

I see them at PetSmart and I was curious but $12 is a little much for something I can make a few dollars. (PVC pipe with something to make it float[Balloon or Pingpong ball])

I have also heard that the paint on it wears down really quick but nothing will effect the fish, just less pretty over time.

I have one of these as a resting spot for my boy with long fins. He loves it! It is also good for mental enrichment. The paint does come off easily, so you need to be gentle when you clean it.

Here is Haku enjoying his:

I have one in my 2.5 planted at work. Beast loves it. Mine also looks pretty neat because I've let algae grow on it. I like the look of it in the smaller tank but I don't think I'll get another one for my 10 gal. I think it might look silly in a bigger tank. But I have yet to try.

I just bought one today, but I'm having trouble keeping it from going under my water filter. Even if I slowly put the log in the opposite side of where the filter is, the current manages to push it to the filter. I've already had the baffle mod in before today, and it's adjusted to let water flow at the lowest possible speed (just for bg info it's an aqueon20 in a 5 gal tank). Any tips on keeping the log in place?

You can tape it or tie it to the side of your tank with some string or you can anchor it down with a small weight and some string. Fishing line would work best because it won't degrade in water.

Both of my boys have one and love it! They sleep in it every night

I assume since so many people like these that the edges are very smooth? I am always afraid of putting something in the tank that might tear fins.
