Aquarium jugs and pots
Jugs and amphorae: natural shelters with Mediterranean charm
Reclining amphorae, tipped jars and weathered pottery bring your aquarium a Mediterranean elegance while offering your fish reassuring refuges. At AnimalParadise, our decorative jugs and pots combine aesthetics and function: their hollow shape naturally creates hideaways where your residents love to rest and spawn.
Why is a reclining amphora ideal as a hideaway?
Its hollow shape and wide opening make it a perfect shelter: laid on its side, the amphora forms a welcoming cave that fish enter and leave freely. Many species, such as cichlids or catfish, adopt it as a territory or spawning site. This hideaway reduces stress and reassures the shyest individuals.
How should I place a jug or pot in my aquarium?
Lay the jar on the substrate with the opening facing an open area, so fish can reach it effortlessly. Bury the base slightly in the sand to stabilise the piece and give it a natural look, like pottery forgotten for centuries. A few plants around it complete the integration into the decor.
Our range of jugs, amphorae and pots
- Reclining amphorae : elongated wide-mouthed pottery, ideal as a cave and spawning shelter.
- Jars and jugs : rounded vessels with an ancient charm that structure the decor and reassure fish.
- Small pots and pottery : compact pieces perfect for multiplying hideaways in nano tanks.
The AnimalParadise expert tip: before installing, check that the inside of the jug is smooth and free of chips, then rinse it with clear water. An opening turned away from the filter current ensures a calm zone, much appreciated by fish seeking quiet.
Chosen for their safe finish and timeless charm, our jugs, amphorae and pots are shipped quickly throughout Europe to give your fish new shelters without delay.
