Give your small catfish a quiet corner of the tank to call their own. The Zoo Med Ceramic Catfish Log is a natural-looking sinking log shelter built for all small catfish to hide, play, or sleep in, just as they would seek out sunken shelters in the wild. This medium ornament measures 6.45 inches and comes in a brown finish, so it blends right into your aquascape while giving your bottom dwellers somewhere safe to retreat when they want a break from open water.

• Made as a natural-looking sinking log shelter for all small catfish to hide, play, or sleep in.
• Mirrors the way catfish seek out sunken shelters in the wild, so it feels familiar to your fish.
• Acts as a retreat, which Zoo Med says can help reduce stress in bottom dwelling fish.
• Sinks on its own, so it settles down to the substrate and stays put without any extra anchors.
• Textured surface allows beneficial algae growth on the log, creating a natural grazing surface over time.
• Brown coloring keeps the look organic and understated against gravel, sand, and live or artificial plants.
• Medium 6.45 inch size suits a range of small catfish and mixed community setups.
• Ceramic construction makes it a sturdy, reusable structure you can keep in the tank for the long haul.
• Open log shape gives shy fish a dark, enclosed space to feel secure and settle into.
• Ready to rinse and place straight into a freshwater layout, with no complicated setup.

If your catfish tend to dart for cover or hover near the bottom, a dedicated shelter can make all the difference in how at home they feel from day to day. Tuck the Zoo Med Ceramic Catfish Log into a shaded spot in your aquarium and let your small catfish claim it as their own private hideaway to rest in. It is a simple, natural-looking addition that works with your tank rather than against it, and the textured ceramic only gets more lived-in as beneficial algae take hold on the surface over the weeks. For fish keepers who want their bottom dwellers to feel settled and secure, this medium log is an easy call.
