Blue Ribbon Egyptian Vase

The Blue Ribbon Egyptian Vase is a sunken-relic style ornament from Blue Ribbon's Exotic Environments line: an ancient amphora that has toppled onto its side, its body broken open to reveal a hollow interior. Hand-painted hieroglyph-style figures wrap the weathered clay finish, and the single curved handle and flared neck give it the look of a real dig-site find. At about 8 inches long it fits nano and mid-size tanks, and the broken openings double as a swim-through hideaway for small fish and shrimp. Build it into a lost-temple scape with the Triple Pebble Archway and Rock Tunnel with Silk Plants, or browse all of our aquarium decor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe for bettas and shrimp? Yes. The resin is inert and the edges are smooth. Shrimp especially love the hollow interior.

Do I need to soak or cure it? No. Rinse under warm water to remove dust and place it in the tank.

Will the paint fade? The finish is colorfast for aquarium use. Avoid abrasive brushes when cleaning; a soft cloth or gentle scrub is plenty.
