I made a little ceramic tamagotchi and a dome with holes (intended to be a shrimp hide) for myself. I made them because I wasn’t happy with the ornaments available (mostly plastic). It got me thinking… how does everyone else feel about the ornaments available to buy?
Is there a kind of aesthetic or material or size of ornament that you haven’t been able to find?
Interested to hear about people experiences with finding ornaments to suit their styles and preferences.

I generally hate the mass produced decorations sold for aquariums. I haven’t purchased a single decoration intended for tanks in years. Anything I do use that isn’t natural hardscape or wood I DIY. PVC pipes are my go to, and can be finessed into something very nice and functional with some lava rock, expanding foam, slate pieces, etc. Yours are lovely. Good job!
I’ve been having issues finding tubes for my pleco, but I don’t really trust the plastic or was it what I was looking for. You should start a little business, I’d probably buy from you
It really depends on the phase I’m going through, but I wish there were more moving bubble ornaments or decor, I had this shipwreck that moved when the bubbles were hooked up and I loved it, just wish it was bigger for a tank larger than like 10g. But I love the look of the ornament in the photo and would definitely consider making a whole theme with something like that, especially because I personally find it difficult finding stuff like that for larger tanks locally, or at all sometimes
