Environmental Enrichment for Aquatics and Reptiles
Datesand Aquatent
2-1/2" L x 1-1/5" H x 2-1/3" W
The simple yet ingenious design of the Aquatent promotes natural behaviors in aquatic species such as zebrafish. Aquatent easily fits in 3.5-liter tanks as well as all larger tanks. It provides a hiding place for fry (young fish). The translucent blue design helps foster early detection of health concerns—fish tend to segregate when unwell, and the Aquatent highlights this behavior, allowing for faster intervention. It also promotes natural guarding behavior in males, encouraging spawning in females without increasing aggression. Initial observations have also shown embryo production triple following the introduction of the Aquatent. It can help decrease culling rates because it improves overall well-being, leading to a healthier population. Aquatent is made from premium polycarbonate that is autoclavable, cage-washer safe, and does not degrade in aquatic environments. It’s available irradiated, and a certificate of analysis is available here.
Sold individually.

Enrichment is Key to Animal Welfare
Just like humans, animals need a chance to exercise their minds and have control over their environment. And like humans, lab animals also enjoy toys and treats! That's why environmental enrichment is key to animal welfare—minimizing boredom, stress and stereotypic behaviors such as pacing and rocking. It's as essential as proper nutrition to the well-being of the laboratory animals under your care.
Enrichment products offer animals experiences similar to those they encounter in the wild, such as the opportunity to nest, build, forage, explore and exercise. The result? Happier, healthier animals!
