Petsmart Hides

[JazAxolotl]

Hello! I have purchased these two hides and they will arrive soon. I'm going to get my tank set up soon but as of right now I'm still acquiring supplies. I have most of what I need already, though. My main concern is that, being plastic, they may leak something into the water? Just wanted to show these hides:

I looked into getting these as well. Based on my research, they won't leak anything into the water so that won't be your worry. The material they're made from however tends to get soft and rubbery in water over time. I don't know what product developer had that bright idea.

Thanks for the info! And if I need to replace them in the future, I will. :]

I have that cave in my tank. And was going to get that same driftwood piece but opted for a different look. The cave provides the right amount of hide as well as a flat surface on the top for my axi to lay. Zero issues

I've had the same concerns, so I've used a variety of pvc pipes/connectors (the connectors in particular come in some fun shapes), turtle platforms, and ceramic pieces, some from Amazon and some from local-ish potters(not sure if that's the right term?)

I'm sure they look great and they seen great for an axolotl. Personally, I am going for a natural look in my tank also I decided to avoid things like PVC pipes :]

Yeah, that's a valid concern. I don't really care for the most part how my tanks look as long as they have what my axolotls need, so they've been a pretty good inexpensive thing to add for my multiple aquariums
