Zoo Med BL-10E Floating Betta Log

I don't normally leave reviews but as I was hesitant to buy this and it actually turned out to be brilliant I thought I'd let others know. Works a treat, floats perfectly, looks natural, and my betta loves it.

My betta loves his floating log. I decided to fix a sucker to it so it doesn't float around the surface but it was easy enough to do with some aquarium glue. I place his food in the top window so it doesn't float around the tank. My betta spends a lot of time in his new log. Worth the money.

Previously I'd purchased the Betta cave that sits on the bottom of the tank, however my little guy was unimpressed by it. That's probably because it's too deep and dark for him, without a hole on the top for him to easily come up for air. He investigated that for about three minutes and has ignored it ever since.This log is a different story. Much better suited to Betta fish, this floats near the surface with a feeding hole on that also acts as an air hole, allowing him to get air on the surface without leaving the log.Being open ended it also allows him to get a bit of respite and a break from the light in the aquarium without being pitch black.The log has been in the tank for a couple of hours and my Betta has been absolutely fascinated by it, exploring it inside and out, and now resting in it. I'll try and feed him via it going forward, but it doesn't look like he needs any encouragement to use it!I have it in my 30 litre aquarium. If you have anything smaller it may be a bit too big and take up too much space. It also floats freely. I have it at the back of the tank against one of my heaters, which stops it from floating about all over the place.

Easy to clean. Better in big tank. Nice for fish

The betta’s seem to love this log. I have 4 bettas in a shared (divided) tank, and some seem to love their logs more than others. Our shrimps definitely use them too.It’s good quality, floats well, and has good detail. Definitely give it a wash when it first arrives. No flaking paint or material.Some people recommend using the feeding hole inside them to train them to use it.

It arrived on time, in great shape. I wasn't sure if my betta would like it, but he loves it. Note that it can move around quite a lot in the tank if there is space above it due to the current. As long as I have the water level high enough it rests up against the lid which stops it moving, which is great. My fish loves to swim in and out of it when it is spinning, although I would be wary of leaving it loose in the water if you have much of a current running through as I would be concerned about it trapping his tail.I tied some moss to the bottom inside of the log which has worked really well, and we feed him mostly outside the log because he enjoys chasing his food, but always place the last piece in the hole at the top of the log, which he always leaves until last.The log was also useful when we added some amano shrimp to the tank as my betta was really curious about the ones that were at the top of the tank. After a little chasing (he ignores the shrimp at the bottom,) the shrimp worked out that they can climb on top of the log to escape him if they need to, and hung out there until they were more confident and had moved lower in the water. I am really fond of this product, as is by betta - definitely a worthwhile buy.Note that the size is about 3 or 4 inches cubed (about 8-10 cm cubed) and not as large as in the description.

The media could not be loaded. My Betta absolutely loves this! Since putting it in the tank yesterday,he hasn't left it alone! I had seen that another person had glued a sucker on to theirs,with aquatic glue and I did the same. The log obviously floating,kept bumping into things,it's so much better stuck to the glass.My betta is fairly big and he fits In their perfectly. My other shrimp or fish haven't gotten a look in,but I suspect that Tey would like it too. I may glue moss to it,just so it is a bit more inkeeping with the tank aesthetic. It doesn't look too bad looks wise, but you can obviously tell its not real wood!.Overall I word definitely recommend to Betta owners and would buy again.

My betta, Scabby Barry absolutely loves his log. From the moment it went into his tank he was in there and spends quite a lot of time just chilling in there, he's a lazy boy!🤣
