Beeta Tunnel Bed

Beeta Tunnel Bed

A “betta bed” in the form of a tunnel structure is a type of aquarium accessory designed to provide your betta fish with a cozy, sheltered resting spot. These structures mimic natural hiding places that bettas seek out in the wild, helping to reduce stress and promote natural behavior.

Key Features of a Tunnel-Style Betta Bed:

• Tunnel Shape: Offers a dark, enclosed space that mimics underwater caves or root hollows.
• Soft or Smooth Edges: Essential to avoid tearing the delicate fins of bettas.
• Aquarium-Safe Materials: Typically made from resin, ceramic, or soft silicone. Avoid sharp or metal parts.
• Compact Size: Designed to fit comfortably in small tanks (2.5–10 gallons).
• Weighted or Suction Base: Some tunnel beds are weighted or come with suction cups to keep them in place.
• Optional Leaf Hammock Inside: Some designs incorporate a resting leaf within the tunnel.

Benefits:

• Stress Reduction: Gives bettas a place to hide and feel secure.
• Improved Resting Habits: Bettas often sleep inside caves or under overhangs.
• Visual Appeal: Many come in natural rock, log, or plant-like appearances that enhance your tank decor.

Things to Look Out For:

• Ensure it’s labeled as betta-safe.
• Rinse thoroughly before placing it in the tank.
• Check that openings are large enough for your betta to enter and exit easily.
• Avoid any paint or coating that may peel over time.
