"Looks great."

Update after 3 months, the tree trunk looks awesome still, crabs love it the most. Would give it 5 stars but for the smell. This gray tone really takes away from its realistic outer desing. Gave them a good rinse and stuck them in the tank. It is very detailed and the colors maintain well. There are a couple holes in it, and my ghost shrimp love to hide inside it. I purchased this for the aquarium we are giving my boys for Christmas this year.

Tfwadmx Final Thoughts

"Look great in my tank."

Overall a good addition to my aquarium. I have the waterfall channeling directly down into the tree. Based on personal experience, I would definitely recommend this. I'm satisfied and recommend highly. I wanted something not everyone would have who has an aquarium that I know of. Finding large decor for a 55 feels almost impossible. But as you can see from the picture, it's really, really big.

Penn-Plax RR969 First Impressions

"It's amazing!"

Love the tree stump in the aquarium, and so do our fish. Easy setup and connection to aquarium pump. Does tend to trap a lot of waste particles inside. The back is not completely flat so i have found fish behind it. I love the way it looks in my new paludarium setup. We've only had it for a week so I’m sure she’ll discover it soon. The trunk is perfect but in shipping it was broken.

It really helps lessen the impact of my HOB. The larger version shows off the great detail of the castle, too. Believe me, you will really be impressed when this arrived. This product arrived in great time, was super easy to set up and move around. Perfect home for my lil clown pleco. The larger version shows off the great detail of the castle, too. Need to have better packing materials.

"My tank measures 30."

There are a couple holes in it, and my ghost shrimp love to hide inside it. These were left behind from the molding process and could easily skewer a fish. The trunk is perfect but in shipping it was broken. I love the size and how sturdy it is. When preparing to place it in the aquarium, I just took off the stringy parts. I cut it so as to look like a piece of rock had busted out. I have it in my 75 gallon tank and it still looks so big.

"No need to return."

Immediately took it out of the package and it has shed a lot. I have no idea why and 2 to 4 weeks for delivery is way to long. A little pricey for my taste but overall was worth it. Not a photographer but maybe the pics help, hope so. The first one of these I received showed up broken in the box. But it is some kind of ceramic material with safe colorings. If you have a need for this and are considering it, go for it, you will love it.

"No Problems."

The possibilities are endless for children. We love our castle and our fish enjoy all the ways they can swim in and out of it. They seem a little too small for a Betta to fit through without getting stuck. I wanted to take them off because they're kinda ugly. Not a photographer but maybe the pics help, hope so.

"Very cool!"

My betta fits through the doorways very well. Love how it already looks like moss is growing on it. Have it in 20 gal fresh water fish tank. If they did had this, the price would far exceed the price on Amazon. I wanted something not everyone would have who has an aquarium that I know of. When preparing to place it in the aquarium, I just took off the stringy parts. I have a 5 gallon tank and only put one log in.

"I am in love with it."

The ones I found were very low at the bottom. I have the waterfall channeling directly down into the tree. It's not super high and does not over take the tank. I have a 5 gallon tank and only put one log in. Fits great in my 3 gallon beta tank and what a great price too. I was worried that the green stuff that covers the roof would come off but it didn't. There is nothing about it that looks cheap.

Overall I'm extremely happy with this castle, and my Sammy is too. Just remember to buy a pump to go with it. But, I loved it so much I actually considered buying a bigger tank! And I added a photo of my same cichlid, still loving his tree. When I add my plants and large Goldfish, it will be awesome! I have a 5 gallon tank and only put one log in. I was looking for a larger piece with caves and an open bottom.

Nice that they sent the extra little plant, too. This is not recommended for small aquariums because it is pretty large. A little pricey for my taste but overall was worth it.
