How big is the opening? I am planning on giving this to my hermit crabs as a hide

Answer by ChewyJan 03, 2019
The opening for the door is about 1.5 inches wide by 1.75 inches tall. The opening for the eyes is about 0.75 inch is diameter.

Does this have an effect on the tanks water? I heard it makes the water cloudy.

It is recommended to clean this ornament prior to placing it within your tank. Additionally, while placing the ornament in the bottom of the tank, the water may become a little cloudy as you are disturbing the substrate for placement of the ornament.

My betta loves it!

My betta loves Squidward's house, the moment I put it in there, he was quick to explore it and eventually went inside, now he can't stop going inside!!

You need fine rocks in your tank for this to work

Nice quality and size, but I have large river pebbles in my tank for my turtle, and this really needs sand or aquarium gravel to work. The bottom is totally open,

Nice quality and size, but I have large river pebbles in my tank for my turtle, and this really needs sand or aquarium gravel to work. The bottom is totally open, so there is no way for me to weigh this down in my tank, and I can’t burrow it in with the large rocks.

Betta is satisfied

I’ve had this for about six months? and have not had any problems. My betta fish Aiden, loves his Squidward home. He’s a Veiltail. He hides inside then, peeks his head out from the eyes. he also loves diving off the top of the head, it’s adorable. Squidward would probably not approve. Be sure to have some sandpaper on hand as some places can be quite sharp.

I bought this for my freshwater tank a few months back and I have been pleased with my purchase. I luckily haven't had the issues that others have had with the paint rubbing off. Looks nice in the tank and cleans easily

I don’t recommend this item at all. All of the paint started to flake off after a few weeks. It also got stuck in my filter and was floating around the tank. It’s definitely not made for a fish tank, imo. The sponge Bob pineapple is nice though and that hasn’t flaked.

DO NOT PURCHASE

My betta got sick after having this in his 10-gallon tank for a couple of weeks. When I took everything out to clean it I noticed the paint/lining on the inside

My betta got sick after having this in his 10-gallon tank for a couple of weeks. When I took everything out to clean it I noticed the paint/lining on the inside was peeling off into the water. Chewy customer service was helpful in dealing with this issue, but I do not recommend this product.

Cute ornament

We bought this one, along with the pineapple for our 20 gallon aquarium. I did read in other reviews that paint was flaking off, but we haven't experienced this

AWFUL Sharp Mess

It’s super cute yes, but after having it less than a month I pull everything out to clean and the inside was shard and all of the paint faked off and make my fish’s

It’s super cute yes, but after having it less than a month I pull everything out to clean and the inside was shard and all of the paint faked off and make my fish’s tank disgusting. I couldn’t figure out of my one betta in a 5.5 gallon tank made a mess that bad that fast. If I could have put a negative 5 I would have
