Zoo Med BL-10E Floating Betta Log

Previously I'd purchased the Betta cave that sits on the bottom of the tank, however my little guy was unimpressed by it. That's probably because it's too deep and dark for him, without a hole on the top for him to easily come up for air. He investigated that for about three minutes and has ignored it ever since. This log is a different story. Much better suited to Betta fish, this floats near the surface with a feeding hole on that also acts as an air hole, allowing him to get air on the surface without leaving the log. Being open ended it also allows him to get a bit of respite and a break from the light in the aquarium without being pitch black. The log has been in the tank for a couple of hours and my Betta has been absolutely fascinated by it, exploring it inside and out, and now resting in it. I'll try and feed him via it going forward, but it doesn't look like he needs any encouragement to use it! I have it in my 30 litre aquarium. If you have anything smaller it may be a bit too big and take up too much space. It also floats freely. I have it at the back of the tank against one of my heaters, which stops it from floating about all over the place.

I don't normally leave reviews but as I was hesitant to buy this and it actually turned out to be brilliant I thought I'd let others know. Works a treat, floats perfectly, looks natural, and my betta loves it.

Fantastic. Soon as I put in the aquarium my betta was straight in. He Ioves it. A must if you own a betta

Floats well betta loves to sleep in it and swim through it to play. Its really seen as a necessity for bettas.

My Betta love them. Only negative is they aren't that smooth on the inside, slightly worried about ripping a fin. Might put a bed of moss in them

Arrived quicker than expected. Betta ( ahem) than I expected.

I bought this for my betta fish he wouldn't use it at the start but now he loves it.

With so many rave reviews, I had high expectations. Betta fish are naturally curious and my guy was no different. He swam round it and chilled inside. He used it a lot. I initially thought that it was a good buy. That was until I noticed that some of his scales on the upper side were missing. I've witnessed him multiple times nudging the log so much he ended up moving it. It resulted in the log drifting close to corners of the aquarium, where he would try his best to squeeze through to get behind/infront of it. It's on this basis I personally wouldn't recommend purchasing.

With in 10 sec my Betta start using this log.

Good just as aspected

J’ai acheté les 2 (celui qui flotte et celui qui reste au fond). Déjà je pense qu’ils ne blesseront pas mon betta. Celui dont on parle ici, celui qui flotte, a été adopté très vite par Bubulle ! Il est de naturel curieux déjà (même s’il est arrivé dans la famille il y a 4 jours). A peine posé il a fait des tours dedans et autour. Ça fait 24h et il y va de plus en plus. Il chill dedans ou il fait juste que passer. Je lui ai donné à manger dedans aujourd’hui et ça a eu l’air de lui plaire. Du coup comme c’est un estomac sur nageoires il allait dedans en me regardant après pour en avoir encore xD Je conseille c’est vraiment top et pas trop gros pour mon aquarium de 17l. Top ! (Sur les photos il lui manque des écailles sur le côté de la tête, c’est parce que ce foufou s’est frotté sur l’ancienne déco... c’est pour ça que je fais très attention à la moindre rugosité maintenant).

It looks so good floating in the tank. Doesn't look fake at all. My betta loves it and so does my amano shrimps. Really recommend it if you have bettas.

At first my betta loved it so much after a while i noticed his fins are thinning!! I thought it was fin rot and started treating him only to find out it was his log cutting his fins… i sanded it and all good now. انتبهوا قطعت زعانف سمكتي صنفروها زين اول .
