Best Quality Betta Bed Leaf Hammock / Size By Zoo Med Laboratories

I have a really adorable halfmoon butterfly betta, and ok I admit, it's a little spoiled...but it's reeeally pretty and I love it lots n lots!! I noticed it would half-sleep or half-veg-out in a particular corner, but that it had to keep fanning its fins and its tail would start sinking, then it'd have to fan again to get itself back up. It wasn't sick or anything weird, it's just that it requires energy to stay in place in the water. All of the plants in my new aquarium, are too short, you see...

Sooo, I got a whole bunch of these because they were on sale at my local Petsmart, and I put them here and there, and a lot of them about 1/2 cm from the surface of the waterline. This made a little multi-tier leafy land of green, and now, my betta just chills out when he wants to, on the leaves. =) He seems to like it there, and though he swims around then perches on one, then swims under them, over them, he also spends time just lounging about the leaves too. I think he really likes it. On the ones closer to the surface, he makes all these bubbles. He's got two bubble nests going at the moment, and it's a pretty cute bubble collection.

These leaves have a plastic-covered wire are bendable so you can get _just the right angle_! It's like your shoulder; it's a ball-and-socket joint basically. It doesn't fall off, and it rotates just fine, AND is pose-able because of the wire on the inside of the plastic. These leaves are also smooth so none of this snags the betta's beautiful fins; I tested this out with the string test (I do this with all of his toys). Plus these leaves are really easy to clean. I rinse them off, and use a Q-tip to clean the little suction cup dent that the leaf pops in to. If you're tryig to stick these above water, you should WET THE SUCTION CUP FIRST, so it has suction, CLEAN THE AREA you are going to put it to (only if it's above water), and then it will stick well. If your tank is a bit slimey or slippery due to algae, you should also clean a small area first so you can stick it on properly. Sometimes, if you buy these and leave them in the car, they become oddly formed. To fix this, just nuke ONLY THE RUBBERY PART in the microwave for about 2 seconds at a time till it becomes slightly soft; not mushy, just move-able. Then set these on glass face-down and let it cool to its correct shape. Also, look for when they are on clearance. I got them for $2.25 each on clearance and bought all of them that were being sold, because I super loved the first one I got.

These leaves are awesome, and allow me to just have a mat of really low maintenance plants (*morimo balls*), glass shrimp, little rock caves with dwarf baby tears growing on them, and then just these leaves here and there. I also have one snail. It's a super low maintenance tank this way, but these leaf hammocks allow for my betta to really use different levels within the water that it didn't really do much with before, and it adds a bit more color. =)

I tried this out with a female betta and she couldn't care less about it. My male betta on the other hand LOVES it. I have better luck putting it in a dim area rather than bright part of the tank. Much better bet than the betta logs in my opinion. Pick up a few of these and you can create a swim through and rest area.

My kids love watching our Betta rest up on this hammock. It was our Christmas present for our family pet... lol! It takes a while to "train" your betta to use this, but prior to purchasing this, we noticed the Betta trying to find places to "lie down" on. This is perfect for its need.

Who knew this was for real? I'm so excited when I see him laying on it. So glad I got this. Sometimes he just snuggles up to the suction cup and sometimes he lays on the leaf. It cleans easily and goes right where I put it. It even lets you bend up the leaf to get the perfect angle no matter if you have a straight, flat tank or a curved glass bowl. Love it!

I bought this because I noticed how often my betta would prop himself up within the foliage of his little fake aquarium plants. The thing is, he wouldn't rest there for long, because for bettas it's easiest to breathe near the surface. His plants weren't tall enough for that. No he uses this often, especially at night after the aquarium light timer goes off. I think it may be just a bit too bright up there for his preference when that's turned on. Most mornings, I get up and he's still perched there (light or not) and doesn't really get up and about until he sees large movement. It is pretty cool to see, and I like to think the fish is comfortable and content when using it. It's just right!
