Their size isn't all that big
No, I do not believe that is true. I have several Corys not quite that big who have gone under the castle, but I always make sure the manage to Panda Mollies larger than mine cannot fit in my car. I purchased the other side of the castle, since they would be able to go under no problems, but you can buy both sides if you want. Despite its high price, it is very
There are up to 50 gallons in size.
Sized for a half gallon goldfish bowl, this is intended for small aquariums on the go. A 20-gallon container is not big enough for me, so I would look for something bigger elsewhere

The craftsmanship is excellent, and I love the way it looks. I took the time to read reviews on many other similar ones and then settled on this castle after reading them all. I got it for my 20 gallon tank and was concerned it might be too large but it works perfectly. Red is my favorite color When the tail shark forsook his beloved log he immediately claimed the inside of the castle as his own. A small ridge near an opening was easily removed by filing, and the inside of the castle seemed quite smooth, but it seems very safe when it comes to fish, with no areas where they could become trapped, and good drainage around the bottom holes. It is large. He is about 6 inches long and over 1 inch in diameter. I have taken a couple of trips inside, and he is the same size as my shark. In my aquarium, the smaller fish like to swim through and around the spires, especially the tetras, guppies, and platties. It makes a wonderful addition to my tank and looks beautiful in my aquarium. A UPDATED STORY 8 MONTHS LATER IN JUNE There was no danger to anyone, but that is not the case. I just discovered that Alfie, the algae eater I mentioned in my original review, is stuck inside the top tower. As I had been searching for him all day, it seemed unusual, so I went to the castle to see if he was still there. Even after tugging on him, it was impossible for him to get out of the tower even with his head buried in the tower. The three people who tried to free him were unsuccessful. In the end, it was either to destroy the castle to get him out, or to There was no more important person than Alfie. Fourteen percent of the castle has been chipped away in the 4th photo, which shows him inside the castle in the red circle. By loosening it up enough for him to be able to swim out, the situation was resolved. A picture of him is shown in the fifth image as he recovers My hopes are that he will survive because his middle is swollen. I believe this is a great decoration but readers should be aware of the dangers some fish might encounter when using decorations. Although I loved this castle, it will be difficult to fit in with my larger fishes. To prevent fish from getting stuck in the towers, it would be better if they were sealed off.
I am glad I took a chance on this one, as it turned out to be a perfect size for my tank and looks pretty The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is because it had a few sharp edges around the openings that needed to be sanded down. Since there is some confusion about the castle's size (I knew I wasn't certain based on the various questions and answers) I decided to post a picture of it next to a soda can for scale, to make sure others had an idea of how big it is.
During the 4 days I had this in my aquarium, I noticed a difference in the water quality. At the end of 2 It appears on the surface of the water that there is an oily film, but I don't know what it is. Despite the fish's lethargy, I thought it was due to the fact that he had just been born. As I did a water change on the fourth day, I saw plenty of black particles on the sand, as well as the inside of I realized that the paint would come off under my finger nails and that my pet snail had chipped off all the paint with his teeth after I moved the castle and felt how slimey and disgusting it felt. In other reviews, people said that their fish died, the water was stinky, and they were all fine. As a result, my fish would have died if I hadn't noticed, and now I am bound to seek a refund from Amazon, which I am angry with, but I don't see how this can be safe to stock in an aquarium! The reason I am writing this review is that it should not be allowed to sell.
You can find them hiding in it all the time.
In addition to being in perfect condition, the castle is a lot heavier than I expected it to be and it's just gorgeous! This is an image of the aquarium that I recently placed in my new tank, so I decided it was the perfect time to post it. It looks so good, you could use it on a desk or mantle instead of an aquarium. It has no cheap look to it. As my tank is 15 gallons, it seems unlikely that it would work, but the top of the box is below the waterline so it will work perfectly when I add my plants and large Goldfish! Thank you for providing this for me because I wanted to avoid the usual kind of bizzare plastic plants attached to castles or trees all over them. You will really be impressed when this arrives, I can assure you. In any local national chain store of any kind, I have never seen anything quite this large for the price, much less as beautiful. In the event that they had it, their price would be significantly higher than Amazon's. My 15 gallon tank is the centerpiece of my home. For the large size, I found it perfect because it is the centerpiece of my home. Some people have commented on the size of the castle I think they probably bought the wrong size. There would have been too much space in the small version. As you can see from the larger version, the castle has a great deal of detail as well. If you made the little version, you would most likely lose that aspect. Your decision comes down to how you want to "look" in your tank and how you prefer to make your tank stand out.
This is great - thank you so much! In my 10 gallon tank, I have a betta and a snail - they are both okay - The tip of the blade is close to the water's edge, and it's not too large. It is very easy for my Betta to fit through the doorways. I also used plastic mesh (attached with super glue) to block the inside of the narrowest towers for additional safety. Watch out for a lot of dremeling on the inside, and be prepared to do lots of dremelling on the inside. She mentioned in another review that her fish became entangled in one, and I can see how that would be. It's time for me to rest! I am very happy with this, my fish love it, and it's even better than I imagined it to be in the tank.
If you have sharp surfaces, make sure you sand and block them. An aquarium of 20 gallon hexagonal shape. Here is the center piece. My first one was way bigger and it looked lovely, but as there was too much space for fish to swim, I gave it away. It's perfect for small fish such as redtail sharks because it's a hideout only for small fish. Your fish will come in and out of the aquarium often, so you must sand down all sharp areas near the openings. The interior surfaces were dremeled and even top-glued five deep holes to prevent any small fishes from getting trapped (I've read horror stories about how fish can get trapped in areas like this). It is really great piece with lots of detail and dark theme too. It goes very well with my black background and gravel accentuating the fishes to make their beautiful colors stand out.
