Zoo Med Betta Bed Leaf Hammock
The Zoo Med Betta Bed Leaf Hammock gives betta fish a comfortable resting spot near the water’s surface, where they naturally like to relax. This soft, realistic leaf attaches to aquarium glass with a suction cup and creates a simple, useful resting place for bettas in freshwater aquariums.
Bettas often rest near the surface so they can easily breathe air and conserve energy. A leaf hammock helps recreate that natural behavior while adding comfort, enrichment, and stress reduction to betta tanks, nano aquariums, and beginner freshwater setups.
