BETTA HAMMOCK: Bettas possess a labyrinth organ, enabling them to breathe atmospheric air in addition to extracting oxygen from water through their gills. This adaptation allows them to surface regularly and rest near the top of the water column. Leaf-style hammocks provide a natural resting spot for bettas after swimming. EASY TO SET UP: Features a suction cup for secure attachment to smooth aquarium surfaces. Rinse the leaf hammock with cool running water before use. NOTE: For optimal suction, clean and dry the aquarium glass surface thoroughly before attaching the suction cup. HOW TO INSTALL: Position the suction cup approximately 3/4 inch below the waterline to create a surface-level resting area and gentle shelter for your betta. Some bettas may not immediately use the hammock—especially new tank inhabitants—but many appreciate having cover or a calm zone near the surface. If your betta does not settle on it right away, try repositioning it elsewhere in the tank. In their natural habitat, bettas inhabit shallow, slow-moving waters and frequently rest near the surface. Their labyrinth organ supports survival in low-oxygen environments by allowing them to gulp air at the surface. Placing the hammock near the top aligns with this natural behavior. SAFETY: • Suitable for bowls and tanks of various sizes • Made from non-toxic, pet-safe, waterproof materials • Contains no metal components that could corrode underwater SETUP INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Choose a preferred location in the tank 2. Remove a small amount of surface water, then wipe both the suction cup and tank wall clean and dry 3.
