Measuring 6.7 x 5.5 x 3.9 inches, it is suitable for small to medium-sized tanks. According to the manufacturer, the decoration should be washed off before use.

Also typical for Japan are bonsai trees. These are cultivated in Japan and grown as works of art. This model from resin shows a medium bonsai growing from a pot. This one is placed on a boulder. The decoration base is nevertheless quite small, which with a weight of 7 ounces can make the tree not stable. Therefore, it is best to fix it lightly in the gravel.

The quality of the model is good. Measuring 3.25 x 4.85 x 7.9 inches, it places well in small to medium sized tanks. The leaves feature autumnal colors, but they are all the same color. Up close they appear artificial, but this should not be noticeable in the tank. Usable decoration in salt and freshwater tanks.

With a size of 8 x 6 x 10 inches, the rock is suitable for small to medium tanks. The material resin allows the use in freshwater but also saltwater tanks.

You can clearly see individual stones and plants. Also, the color selection is very natural. For small fish, the bridge offers another plus point besides the visual aspect. Fish love to swim through narrow places, as they can do here under the bridge.

Due to its shape and weight, the bridge does not need to be fixed. It can simply be placed on the bottom and stands there stably. Before use, it is recommended to wash the decoration with clean water, even though the material is not toxic. It is suitable by resin for salt and freshwater pools.

The last decoration is a mountain landscape with a small hut at the top. Such mountains are typical for the Japanese landscape and should not be missing in your aquarium. This 7.75 x 8.5 x 5.5 inches size model is ideal for small to medium aquariums. The level of detail of the decoration is unfortunately only mediocre. You can see the individual rocks, stones, and plants very well, but the structure is not very deep. In the tank, however, this can probably hardly be seen.

The decoration cannot provide a functional benefit. The decoration serves only the optics and is for the fish no enrichment. As a decoration, however, it can be used versatile in all types of tanks. Before this, it should only be briefly washed to remove residues.
