Weco Mangrove Hollow

The Weco Mangrove Hollow is a hand-painted poly-resin aquarium ornament that recreates a gnarled mangrove root system in hyper-real detail. The open, hollow form gives shy fish a natural cave to dart into and explore, while the tangled roots add instant biotope character to freshwater and saltwater tanks alike.

Pair it with more decor & hardscape or shop everything for your freshwater and saltwater setups at Squeaky's Aquatics.

Features

• Hyper-real detail — hand-painted and handcrafted to look like genuine weathered mangrove wood.
• Built-in hideaway — the hollow center and root arches give timid fish, fry, and bottom dwellers a place to shelter.
• Tough, fade-proof resin — super-dense poly resin that won't crack, fade, or break down in water.
• Freshwater & saltwater safe — non-toxic and inert; also works in terrariums and paludariums.
• Aquascape anchor — a natural centerpiece for biotope, blackwater, and planted layouts.

Placement Tips

• Rinse in dechlorinated water before adding to the tank.
• Set it on the substrate as a centerpiece, or nestle it against rock or driftwood for a layered scape.
• Tuck plants, moss, or other ornaments into the root crevices to soften the look.
• For a tannin-rich blackwater effect, combine with natural driftwood and botanicals.
