Terracotta amphora for aquarium (measures 12-13 cm) - Blu Bios

The ceramic amphora Blu Bios It is an ornamental accessory designed to enrich the aquarium and provide secure shelters for fish and invertebrates. In addition to the aesthetic function, it plays an important role in improving the welfare of aquatic animals, offering shady and shelter areas that reproduce natural environments.

Functional decorations such as amphorae and caves are widely recommended in aquarium because they contribute to the reduction of stress and favor natural behaviors.

Materials and safety for the aquarium

Made of ceramic cooked at high temperature, the amphora guarantees chemical stability and biological safety.

Material features:

• Nonossical and safe ceramics for fish and invertebrates

• Does not alter the chemical parameters of the water

• Stable and resistant surface over time

• Suitable for freshwater and marine environments

Ceramics is one of the most used materials in aquatic fittings for its neutrality and durability.

Dimensions and structure

• Dimensions Amphora: About 12 × 6.5 × 5 cm

• Opening size: about 2.5 × 2.5 cm

Compact dimensions make it perfect for nano aquariums and small tanks.

The quarry form creates an internal protected area, ideal as a natural refuge.

Ecological and behavioral function

The insertion of shelters within the aquarium is not just a aesthetic choice, but a fundamental practice for the well-being of the fauna.

Benefits for fish:

• Reduction of stress and aggressive behavior

• Possibility to hide in case of threat

• Creation of natural micro-territories

• Support for reproductive behaviors

• Protection for shy or subordinate specimens

Many species use natural shelters to sleep, depose the eggs or find protection during the suit (in the case of crustaceans).

Ideal for small aquatic species

Thanks to the small size and compact opening, the amphora is particularly suitable for:

• Ornamental shrimp (neocaridine, caridine)

• Fresh and small fish

• Betta and timid species

• Community micro-fish

• Freshwater invertebrates and marine

It offers a safe retreat especially during the most delicate phases of growth or suit.

Aesthetic integration into the aquarium

The amphora creates a natural scenographic effect and can be easily integrated into different aquatic layouts.

It adapts to:

• Nano Aquascaping

• Natural settings

• Layout with rocks and woods

• Environments Biotope

It can be partially underground in the substrate or decorated with mosses and epiphite plants for a more natural effect.

Bacterial colonization support

The porous surface of the ceramics offers ideal micro-areas for the colonization of beneficial bacteria.

This contributes to:

• Support the organic nitrogen cycle

• Improve the stability of the ecosystem

• Encourage the organic balance of the aquarium

While not replacing the biological filter, it represents an additional support useful.

Installation and advice

For optimal use:

• Rinse with running water before entering

• Place on a stable surface of the substrate

• Avoid zones with strong direct current

• Integrate with natural plants for a more realistic effect

For territorial species it is advisable to insert more shelters to reduce competition and stress.

Main advantages
