Measuring approximately 3.4 x 3.2 x 3.4 inches, the medium size provides additional interior space compared with the small version while remaining compact enough for many freshwater aquariums.

Provides Additional Shelter
Adding multiple hiding areas can help aquarium inhabitants feel more secure and gives shy fish, shrimp, and juveniles places to retreat away from open areas of the tank.
The medium Moss Ball Hideaway works especially well for:
- Shrimp
- Small community fish
- Fry and juvenile fish
- Breeding aquariums
- Planted freshwater aquariums
Suction Cup Mount
The included suction cup allows the hideaway to mount directly to aquarium glass.
This makes it possible to position the shelter higher in the aquarium rather than limiting hiding places to the substrate.
Placement Tips
- Clean the aquarium glass before installation.
- Press the suction cup firmly against the glass.
- Position the entrance where aquarium inhabitants can access it comfortably.
- Avoid blocking filter intakes or major water-flow paths.
- Check the suction cup periodically to make sure it remains secure.
Great for Shrimp Aquariums
The textured moss-style exterior creates additional surface area for shrimp to explore and graze.
In an established aquarium, natural biofilm may develop on aquarium décor and provide additional grazing opportunities for shrimp and other small omnivorous inhabitants.
Useful for Fry and Juvenile Fish
The enclosed shape provides additional shelter for small fry and juvenile fish.
For breeding setups, combine the hideaway with dense plants, moss, spawning media, or other structures when additional fry protection is desired.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Remove periodically for inspection and cleaning.
- Rinse with aquarium-safe water.
- Use a soft brush to remove accumulated debris if necessary.
- Do not use household soap, detergent, or cleaning chemicals.
- Inspect the suction cup periodically for wear or reduced grip.
