    Description

    A ceramic fish house structure pre-grown with Java moss, combining a practical cave and shelter with a live planted surface in a single ready-made piece. The moss softens the ceramic and creates a naturalistic appearance — the fish house reads more like a planted stone formation than a tank ornament while still providing the clearly defined shelter and entrance that fish actively seek out and adopt as territory.

    Java moss is one of the easiest plants available. It grows in low light without CO2 injection and tolerates a wide range of water conditions. Over time the moss will spread further across the ceramic surface. Shrimp graze on the biofilm the moss develops and use the structure as shelter alongside any fish that inhabit it.

    The moss is pre-established on the fish house so no further attachment is needed — simply rinse and place in the aquarium. The ceramic is heavy and sinks immediately. Suitable for small fish that appreciate shelter — loaches, dwarf cichlids, corydoras, gobies, and shrimp — in aquariums of 30 litres and above.

    The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    What fish will use the fish house?

    Small catfish, loaches, dwarf cichlids, gobies, corydoras, and shy community fish readily adopt ceramic fish houses as territory. Shrimp also use them for shelter.

    Does the moss need CO2?

    No — Java moss grows under standard aquarium lighting without CO2 injection.

    Will the moss spread over time?

    Yes, slowly. The moss will increase its coverage across the ceramic surface and may extend onto the surrounding substrate over time.

    Is it safe for shrimp?

    Yes, fully. Java moss is shrimp-safe and the ceramic is inert. The fish house is particularly popular in shrimp tanks as it provides both shelter and grazing.

    Do I need to do anything when it arrives?

    No — just rinse and place it in the aquarium. The moss is pre-established and the structure is ready to use immediately.
