We are passionate about creating high-quality ceramic aquarium decorations that are as safe for your aquatic life as they are beautiful.

Choosing the Right Ceramic Aquarium Decor for Your Tank

Consider these factors to find the best ceramic tank decor for your setup:

  • Tank Size Matters:

    • Small Tanks (up to 20 gallons): Opt for smaller miniature figurines like individual Fishermen, Turtles, or a Super Mini Pagoda Set.
    • Medium Tanks (20-50 gallons): You can mix sizes, perhaps a Stilt House with a smaller Arched Bridge or a set of Mudmen.
    • Large Tanks (over 50 gallons): Go bold with larger Pagoda Statues, Three-Entrance Gates, or create elaborate scenes with multiple pieces.

  • Match Your Fish Species:

    • Shy/Territorial Fish (e.g., cichlids, bettas): Provide ample hiding spots with our ceramic Houses, Huts, or strategically placed Pavilions.
    • Active Swimmers (e.g., tetras, danios): Ensure open swimming spaces around larger structures like Bridges.

  • Complement Your Aquarium Theme:

    • Natural/Biotope Theme: Choose pieces with earthy tones and natural forms, like our unglazed clay bridges or animal figurines.
    • Zen/Asian Theme: Our Pagodas, Pavilions, Gates, and serene Mudmen figures are perfect for creating a tranquil atmosphere.
    • Whimsical/Storytelling Theme: Let your imagination guide you with our diverse range of people and animal figurines.

Simple Care for Your Ceramic Fish Tank Decorations

Keep your ceramic aquarium ornaments pristine with these easy tips:

  • Regular Rinsing: During routine water changes (every 2-4 weeks), remove decor and rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water. Avoid soaps or detergents.
  • Gentle Scrubbing: Use an aquarium-safe brush or new toothbrush to gently remove any algae or debris.
  • Stubborn Algae: For tougher buildup, you can soak items in hot water or use an aquarium-safe algae scraper very carefully.
  • Inspect Regularly: Check for any accidental chips or sharp edges over time, especially with very active fish.
