Ornament Mini Skull 5.5x7x5cmh

Description

Ornament Mini Skull 5.5x7x5cmh — Miniature skull ornament for betta, nano and gothic-themed aquariums

A skull half-sunk in the sand is one of the classic aquarium ornaments, and the mini size brings it to tanks too small for the full-size versions. Ornament Mini Skull 5.5x7x5cmh (SKU: 36782) is the mini skull in Aqua One’s Skulls ornament range, measuring 5.5 × 7 × 5 cm, with the Mini Dinosaur Head with Horns (36783) as its companion at the same small scale. Aqua One describes its ornaments as creating an aesthetically pleasing environment for the aquarium and its inhabitants, and lists the Mini Skull as quick and simple to set up, non-toxic and aquarium safe, and durable with minimal maintenance.

The maker rates it for coldwater and freshwater tropical aquariums. At 5 cm high it suits a betta tank, a desktop nano or a shrimp tank, and in a larger aquarium it works as a foreground detail in a pirate, Halloween or prehistoric scene. For a bigger set-piece the same range includes the Human Skull with Hole (36763), the Dinosaur Skull (36762), the Crocodile Skull (37485) and the Dinosaur Skull Cave (37362, 37363), so a scene can be built at different scales. In a shrimp tank, the biofilm that builds up on its surfaces gives the shrimp one more place to graze. Before it goes into a betta tank, run a fingertip or an old stocking over the surface: long fins tear on anything that snags, and a piece that passes the test can stay. Bed the base slightly into the sand so it does not shift when fish brush past. Clean it during water changes under warm running water with a soft toothbrush; no soap, bleach or household cleaners, since residues are harmful to fish.
