A little architecture below the surface

Hide a secret room beneath your tank landscape.

Secret House combines an underground cave with architectural detail. Bury the body beneath sand or fine gravel and leave the doorway, window, and rugged upper edge visible to create the look of a hidden dwelling built into the terrain.

It adds narrative character to freshwater aquariums, shrimp and betta tanks, planted aquascapes, fantasy layouts, and display builds without sacrificing usable shelter space.

01

Door and window

Two architectural openings create visual interest and separate access points.

02

Underground room

Uses the substrate layer to conceal a surprisingly spacious interior.

03

Storybook detail

Rock texture and masonry-inspired surfaces give the aquascape a hidden-world feeling.

Size, placement, and comparison

Leave the architecture visible without crowding the entrances.

Secret House is longer than it is wide, with height concentrated around the roofline. Use a paper footprint to test the selected size and preserve enough front or side clearance to see and maintain the doorway and window.

01

Placement plan

Place the base securely, build substrate around the buried body, and keep the doorway, window, and intended upper details uncovered. Do not wedge the structure tightly against glass or hide an entrance behind unstable stone.

02

Fit check

Use the full exterior measurements to confirm tank clearance. Because the listed dimensions are not doorway or interior measurements, compare the product photos with the animal’s adult shape before treating any opening as a swim-through.

Before placing it in your tank

Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Do not use soap, detergent, or household cleaning chemicals. Inspect the piece regularly and remove it if it becomes damaged or develops sharp edges.
