Frequently Asked Questions
Will 9.99WORLD MALL Axolotl Safe Hideouts & Caves fit a 20 gallon long tank?
The hideout fits most 20 gallon long tanks when placed on a flat area of substrate. Measure the length and height of the cave against available floor space, and allow clearance above for water movement and decor. Position near a low flow zone to keep it stable and accessible.
How do I clean the hideout without harming my axolotl?
Remove the cave and rinse it in aquarium water during a water change, use a soft brush to clear debris from crevices, and avoid detergents or bleach. For deeper cleaning, soak briefly in dechlorinated water, then rinse well and return to the tank once any residues are gone. This keeps beneficial bacteria mostly intact.
Is the material safe for amphibians and fish?
The resin used is nonporous and formulated to be aquarium safe, so it does not leach harmful substances under normal use. It supports a bit of biofilm which can be beneficial to tank inhabitants, and it is cured to resist softening in water. Monitor new pieces for a short period to ensure no unexpected reactions in your water conditions.
Can smaller reptiles or invertebrates use this hideout?
Yes, many smaller reptiles and invertebrates can benefit from the shelter as long as the openings suit their size and climbing needs. Check that edges are smooth and there are no gaps that could trap legs or tails. Adjust placement and substrate to create secure entry points for non-swimming species.
How long will the hideout last under regular aquarium conditions?
With routine care the resin hideout will last several years, resisting chips and water degradation under normal aquarium parameters. Avoid strong impacts from heavy decor or gravel shifts, and inspect periodically for surface wear. Proper handling during cleaning will extend its useful life and keep it looking natural.
