Rough but large and stackable, I love them
For reference, I bought two pair of the L & XL combo (so 4 total “caves”). I stacked and angled them to make a cave system.The tank shown is 75 gallons.These are made out of a sort of crushed granite pressed into a form and the surface reminds me of very rough, low grit sandpaper. This is NOT like your other hollow resin aquarium decor. I took 15-20 minutes to scrape and sand off their rougher spots… and to do a great job I could have spent a lot longer. Instead I put some sand in them so that when my fish lay in there and play dead (it’s a loach thing), they aren’t directly on the roughness.My young Clown Loaches and Zebra Loaches love their new hovels. As of May 2023, they L/XL combo are normally $40 per set, I paid $14 per set from the warehouse. Obviously I’m VERY thrilled, but I would be very annoyed with the roughness and extra TLC needed to make these safer if I had paid full price. In fact, that’s probably what got them returned by someone else before I bought them from the warehouse.

I recommend this stone for betta fish BUT.... as it is, it is not completely safe. The stone is very rough and will tear their fins. However, some people have hand sanded these stones to smooth them out. Quite time consuming! I agree, this stone needs sanding if you're planning on using it in a tank that houses a betta. If you want to save time and complete the sanding easily, USE A DREMEL! It works fast and does a great job. One person said it took them 1 hour to get the stone smooth enough using sandpaper by hand. Another said right at 30 min. of constant sanding. I used my Dremel and completed the job in 5 minutes!! It is now as smooth as a babies bottom both inside and out and at the entry and exit points. My beta LOVES this stone. She uses it to nap in and play in and out of. It's heavy, sturdy, and attractive. It did not fade, crack, or lose any color by sanding it. It's heavy enough too. Not cheap. I am 100% satisfied.

I bought two packs of these in 2016 and only 2 of the individual caves have broken. I'd say I've had them in the water 90% of that time, but they have been taken out and dried a couple of times when i rearranged a few times and moved another time. Definitely worth every penny. I've had them in with African cichlids in super high pH, and with South American in low pH. Oscar's have knocked them off flower pots and the African cichlids knocked them over chasing each other around. A lot of the decorations from petco broke during our moving and the ones that did break from these were broken by me when I dropped them (lol)
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2022
Alright so for me personally, these are great. At this of purchasing they're over half the cost of the same product at the Big Box Pet Stores, super heavy, large enough for my fish to use*, and the fish love 'em.

(* dwarf cichlids, corydoras, plecos, and juvenile festivums. Any of the more streamline cichlids such as africans would absolutely fit in the standalone medium or larger. Anything bigger than a julie will probably not fit in the small/medium combo, and the small I use for a plant weight. Cute but useless.)

That said, depending on what type of fish you have, this might not be the best choice. Something like a betta or fancy guppy with those long draping fins, I would look for something ceramic. Also depending on how willing you are to get a few scrapes while taking sandpaper to the openings and inside, same. These are very course, and if they scrape skin (these do) then it's rough enough to scrape the scales of an active fish. However with a few scraped knuckles and some course sandpaper I got them smooth enough in about ten, fifteen minutes tops.

Worth it to me, personally, because these are sturdy and large enough for my corydoras to gather up in a little piles as they prefer to do, and the price is worth the effort of sanding.

Please read dimensions, this bad boy is pretty BIG! It barely fits into my 3gal tank, I didn’t properly read the size— so if you’re looking for a bigger piece for your tank, this is the bang for you buck! Feels good quality and is heavy, maybe be careful to not scratch tank as texture is quite gritty. Overall very nice (big) piece.

Size: Small, Medium, and Large (8 Piece Set)Verified Purchase
Rough surface, but not what I would characterize as critically dangerous to fish. Rough sand paper like surface, rough, but no very sharp piercing edges.

They look good. I got the 8 piece set, no two pieces are identical which is nice. The finish comes naturally from the material used. It is not a simple surface treatment, like paint, used to make the item look like granite, rather this is made of many black and white pieces of resin sand fused together, so the color is inherent to the material. If a piece chipped off, underneath it would keep the same look.

Just finished setting up my Aquarium. They look good in the mix of props..... I hope my Java moss does not continue to burn :( cannot tell if it is light intensity or seachem excel overdose :( :(....

Anyways, I plan on having small schooling fish who do not generally rest on bottom of the tank, mainly ember tetra, celestial danios, and cherry barbs, so the rough texture of stones wont be an issue. If you have kuhli loaches, or pleco, or other fish that spend a lot of time resting on the substrate, I wouldnt say this item is an absolute "no no", but keep an eye out to see if they are being hurt by sandpaper like surface of rocks, doubtful, but possible.

Overall a very good item, good compromise of realistic finish and function. Only detraction is the roughness of the surface. I have seen other bathroom items do fake granite in the same method, and they sand the surface to make it much smoother. I imagine the same process could have been applied to this product. That said, the rough texture does add a certain rock like dynamic to the appearance that may be lost if it was perfectly smooth, so who knows.

Just finished setting up my Aquarium. They look good in the mix of props..... I hope my Java moss does not continue to burn :( cannot tell if it is light intensity or seachem excel overdose :( :(....

Anyways, I plan on having small schooling fish who do not generally rest on bottom of the tank, mainly ember tetra, celestial danios, and cherry barbs, so the rough texture of stones wont be an issue. If you have kuhli loaches, or pleco, or other fish that spend a lot of time resting on the substrate, I wouldnt say this item is an absolute "no no", but keep an eye out to see if they are being hurt by sandpaper like surface of rocks, doubtful, but possible.

Overall a very good item, good compromise of realistic finish and function. Only detraction is the roughness of the surface. I have seen other bathroom items do fake granite in the same method, and they sand the surface to make it much smoother. I imagine the same process could have been applied to this product. That said, the rough texture does add a certain rock like dynamic to the appearance that may be lost if it was perfectly smooth, so who knows.
