Refuge & Breeding Shelter
Add form, function, and versatility to your aquascape or paludarium with our Ceramic Half Hiding Tube. Crafted from a split 2.25” ceramic tube and stretching 7.5 inches in length, this open-bottom shelter is a smart and stylish choice for freshwater aquariums and semi-aquatic setups.
Unlike fully enclosed tubes, the half-tube design offers easy visibility of your bottom dwellers and inverts while still providing the secure, dark refuge they crave. Whether it’s a breeding spot, a shady resting place, or a functional piece of décor, this tube is a multi-use must-have.
Why We Love It:
-
Great for Breeders and Hiders: Provides shelter for plecos, loaches, shrimp, dwarf crayfish, and more.
-
Easy Viewing: Half-tube design allows aquarists to check on hiding or breeding animals without disturbing them.
-
Paludarium Ready: Perfect hide for Vampire Crabs, small frogs, or mudskippers in land/water hybrid setups.
-
Natural Aesthetic: Its earthy ceramic finish blends beautifully with driftwood, stone, or moss-covered decor.
-
Multi-Functional: Acts as a hide, spawning site, or basking ledge depending on placement and tankmates.
Ideal For:
-
Plecos, Loaches, and Corydoras
-
Dwarf Crayfish and Freshwater Shrimp
-
Vampire Crabs, Small Frogs, and Semi-Aquatic Species
-
Use in Aquariums, Paludariums, or Ripariums
Pro Tip: Secure moss or aquatic epiphytes (like Anubias or Bucephalandra) to the top for added texture, plant cover, and shrimp-grazing surface!
Made in the USA – Handmade with non-toxic, aquarium-safe ceramic materials.

Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
