Aquavitro Ceramic Hides are carefully crafted ceramic shelters designed to look and feel like natural wood, giving your aquarium or terrarium a realistic, nature‑inspired look without the downsides of real driftwood. Unlike wood, these Aquavitro ceramic aquarium hides won’t rot, leach tannins, or break down over time, and they won’t affect pH or other water parameters.
Made from non‑toxic ceramic, Aquavitro Ceramic Hides are safe for fish, shrimp, snails and other aquatic life, providing secure hiding places that help reduce stress and encourage natural behaviour.
