Review: Good enough - I have tiny fry. They don’t seem to understand hiding, which works out since the type of fish I have don’t eat their babies. Mostly the snails hang out all through this thing. It adds a nice green color to the tank though and probably helps with the microbiotic ecosystem. I do have quite a few fake plants, and a couple life ones, but I’m guessing the fish like more things to swim around and block some of the light
Review: Good for fish breeding - They do float Good for small fry to hide

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good enough

I have tiny fry. They don’t seem to understand hiding, which works out since the type of fish I have don’t eat their babies. Mostly the snails hang out all through this thing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for fish breeding
*by M***Y on January 4, 2026*

They do float Good for small fry to hide

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective- if you have large tank you need multiple
*by S***R on December 2, 2024*

75 gallon tank, while this does help hide fry and encourage tank population, you need several together for better coverage. One alone leaves more vulnerability. The fry love it and it has improved my fry survival. no assembly, looks nice on top of the tank. Value is good but should get more for that price.
