Ornament Log With Holes Lg 62×16.1x14cm

Description

Ornament Log With Holes Lg 62×16.1x14cm — Long artificial log with holes for catfish, loaches and plecos in larger tanks

Bottom-dwelling fish that rest by day want somewhere dark to tuck into, and a log with a row of holes along it gives a whole group of them their own entrances. Ornament Log With Holes Lg 62×16.1x14cm (SKU: 30220L) is the large size of Aqua One’s Log with Holes, an artificial log from the maker’s Natural ornament range. Aqua One lists the large at 62 cm long, 15.1 cm wide and 14 cm high; the store name gives the width as 16.1 cm, so allow about 15 to 16 cm. At more than 60 cm long it is made for tanks of 90 cm and up, where it can run along the back glass or lie diagonally across the floor. Aqua One describes it as easy to set up and a way to add life and colour to an aquarium.

The log comes in four sizes, which Aqua One lists as Xsmall (30220) at 14.5 × 7 × 7.5 cm, Small (30221) at 21 × 10.5 × 8 cm, Medium (30220M) at 46 × 12.8 × 12 cm and this Large (30220L) at 62 × 15.1 × 14 cm, so a scape can mix lengths for a fallen-timber look. The maker rates it for coldwater and freshwater tropical aquariums. Corydoras, kuhli loaches, small plecos, catfish and dwarf cichlids are typical users of a holed log, darting in when startled and resting there through the day. Because it is artificial it needs no soaking and does not release tannins into the water. Detritus does settle in the openings, so at water changes lift the log out, flush the holes with tank water and work a soft bottle brush through them; no soap or cleaning chemicals, since residues are harmful to fish.
