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.

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.

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.

My Betta love them. Only negative is they aren't that smooth on the inside, slightly worried about ripping a fin. Might put a bed of moss in them

I bought this for my betta fish he wouldn't use it at the start but now he loves it.

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.

Bought this to try and make my Betta happier. Thought it would take a while for him to get used to it but in less than 10mins he was in and loving it.

After reading the reviews I had to buy one for my new Betta fish. What can I say? Money well spent! It is used constantly - my fish investigated it straight away! It’s the perfect resting place for your Betta to relax near the surface where they like to be. It doesn’t move around much if you wedge it in. There’s also a hole in the top - a feeding hole which makes tea time more infesting for the fish. It looks really realistic and well made - with no sharp edges that can damage their delicate fins. A must have for all Betta owners!!!

Molto bello ! Il mio betta lo adora: è subito entrato e gli ha costruito attorno un enorme nido di bolle. Spero che il materiale resti bello nel tempo. L'oggetto non fa assolutamente alcun odore di plastica come avevo letto in una recensione.

With in 10 sec my Betta start using this log.

Good just as aspected

Took him a while to get used to it but Lua loves the log! It’s VERY buoyant and nice and smooth.

It looks so good floating in the tank. Doesn't look fake at all. My betta loves it and so does my amano shrimps. Really recommend it if you have bettas.
