Will this product sink overtime?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 23, 2019
This log will not sink over time as it features a patent pending floating design. While this product doesn't sink, the Zoo Med Ceramic Betta Log sinks to the bottom of your betta enclosure to provide the perfect sleeping den or hideout spot.

Is this product made from real wood and will it affect water hardness in any way? I've read that wood can reduce water hardness and the fish I have require hard water.

Answer by Chewy • May 11, 2018
This product is not made from real wood. It's made with a ceramic exterior and heavy plastic.

Betta likes it

My betta really likes this. I'll walk by and he's in it quite a bit. It has a hole on top, so I actually started feeding him in the hole, so his food doesn't go

My betta really likes this. I'll walk by and he's in it quite a bit. It has a hole on top, so I actually started feeding him in the hole, so his food doesn't go everywhere, and he seems to like eating in it just fine. The reason for the 4 stars is because I wish it came with a fishing line & suction cup, like the lotus flower does, to anchor it in one place. The tank filter pump blows it to the front of the tank, and that is where it stays. One end of the log is against the tank wall, so the betta can only swim inside of it from the other end....he can't swim 'through' it. I may get some fishing line & a suction cup, and anchor it in the middle of the tank so he can swim through it. Other than that, it is well made.

Draco's new obsession!

I'm very impressed with this. It's great quality, floats nicely and looks realistic. It took my fish Draco some time to get used to the strange new log in his tank

I'm very impressed with this. It's great quality, floats nicely and looks realistic. It took my fish Draco some time to get used to the strange new log in his tank but by the second day he was swimming and eating in it. Now I see him constantly hanging out in it. This thing even has his favorite leaf hammock beat!! When he knows it's feeding time he'll swim straight into his log because he prefers being fed there now. Right now it's propped against the tank because my filter is too strong and pushes my little guy around and I need to get one with controllable flow. But when I let the log float around (with supervision) Draco loves hanging out inside it and letting it carry him around.

My Betta fish loves his Floating Betta Log! He swims through it and sometimes uses the small knob on the side to sleep against. About a month after it being in the tank, it sunk to the bottom and stopped floating. I reached out to Chewy, explained the situation and gave them my order number, and a new one was sent to my house! Defective products happen sometimes, and I was so surprised by how easy the process was to replace it. Thank you Chewy for replacing my defective Betta Log; my Betta can’t wait for the new one to arrive!

Good addition to our tank

I rinsed the log before adding it to my tank after reading several other reviews -- I did not use soap for the safety of my fish! My cheeky betta has swum through

I rinsed the log before adding it to my tank after reading several other reviews -- I did not use soap for the safety of my fish! My cheeky betta has swum through a few times. At the moment, he seems indignant that he can't swim between the glass and the log, but I maintain that he'll like it more and more. I love that he has the option to hide out in the log as well as on his silk plants. :)

Not Just for Bettas - Fun for Dojo Loaches, too

Dojo loaches tend to lounge around their tank, often lightly suspended in floating plants, or slumped over a rock, playing dead. My biggest, Bart, likes to find

Dojo loaches tend to lounge around their tank, often lightly suspended in floating plants, or slumped over a rock, playing dead. My biggest, Bart, likes to find places to rest near the surface, so he took to this hide right away. Not much of a hiding place, since he hangs out both ends, but he doesn’t care. He got pretty excited about the feeding hole, too. Or, if not the hole the appearance of a treat when he goes in for a nap. One other critter is fond of this log, too. Snails have figured out how to board the Loach Express. I’m transitioning to a larger tank, and I’ll want at least one more of these.

When Your Betta Loves His Log

I recently just got my betta, Apollo. He is the most friendly betta ever, so I decided to make his 10 gallon tank into a community tank. This lead me to the idea

I recently just got my betta, Apollo. He is the most friendly betta ever, so I decided to make his 10 gallon tank into a community tank. This lead me to the idea that Apollo would enjoy his own hide out from the other fish (3 guppies and 4 neon tetras). He doesn't mind them at all, but I know he needed some space. He just discovered it today! I was so happy, and still am that he loves it!

Immediate bubble nest!

I ordered this while I was still cycling my tank before my new betta's arrival. When I finally put him in the tank, the first thing he did was go into this log. He didn't stay long, but it was encouraging. Now we are on day 3 and when I checked on him I noticed he's now building a bubble nest off the log, and he's been in there all day!!! He has plenty of other perches and hides, but he definitely chose this log as his favorite. (It is still floating after about 5 days)

My betta Starry-Night absolutely loves her floating log. I just put this in so far no sinking. I had to feed her at the top of the log for her to know it was for her to use. Now she uses it all the time, it is so cute to watch her just lay in all chilled out. If you have a betta this is a must have for your fish friend.
