Spongebob Squarepants “patrick” Resin Replica Mini

Description

SpongeBob SquarePants Patrick Resin Replica Mini — Licensed Patrick Star ornament for small aquariums

A starfish is the one Bikini Bottom character who would really be found on an aquarium floor, which makes Patrick the obvious first pick. SpongeBob SquarePants Patrick Resin Replica Mini (SKU: SPSQ11) is Penn-Plax’s officially licensed mini ornament of Patrick Star, part of its SpongeBob SquarePants Mini Ornament Collection. The figure stands about 5 cm tall on a footprint of roughly 2.5 × 2.5 cm (1 × 1 × 2 in), is moulded in aquarium-safe resin, and has a sturdy base so it stays put on gravel or sand. Penn-Plax recommends the mini size for betta tanks, nano aquariums and desktop displays.

The resin suits both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, so Patrick can stand in a shrimp tank, a goldfish bowl or a tiny reef. Penn-Plax also suggests the minis for shelves and decorative arrangements out of the water, and the full series runs to eight pieces, with SpongeBob (SPSQ12), Gary (SPSQ10), Squidward (SPSQ21), Sandy (SPSQ20), Mr Krabs (SPSQ18), Plankton (SPSQ19) and the Pineapple Home mini (SPSQ37) completing the set. Patrick and SpongeBob are also sold together as a two-piece kit (SPSQ36). Clean the figure in warm water during routine maintenance, never with soap, and keep it as tank decor rather than a toy.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Nano and betta aquariums: Sized for tanks of 10 to 30 litres where a full-size ornament would dominate.
• Building Bikini Bottom: Patrick next to his rock, or beside the Pineapple Home and SpongeBob minis.
• First tanks for kids: A bright pink character that is easy to spot among plants.
• Marine or freshwater: The resin is rated for both, so it can move between tanks.

Placement & Care Guide

• Warm rinse first: No soap, detergent or chemical cleaner at any stage of its life in the tank.
• Front of the tank: At 5 cm the figure is best seen close to the glass.
• Anchor the base: A little pressure into the substrate keeps it level when fish swim past.
• Brush off algae: Use a soft toothbrush under warm water at water-change time.
