Blue Ribbon PET Products EE-380 Exotic Environments Cool Shark No Fishing Sign

Adds some cuteness to the fish tank

Looks great in my Aquarium.

Cute and perfect for my tank. I have had this for quiet a while now and love it!

I just love this. I am going to get 3 more to put one in each of my tanks.

Todo deal para pecera pequeña !!

I loved the no fishing sign and shark with glasses. It's still in my tank but the paint came off some of the shark during light brushing on tank cleaning day. That was disappointing but it is still too cute not to be in my 10 gallon tank.

Great item. Exactly as shown/expected.

This peeled within two weeks of being in the aquarium. I am very disappointed and feel it was a waste of money.

exactly as shown

Good value for money love the colour good quality just the right size the colour is nice and bright

got this as an accessory for the fish tank i am giving my friends for Easter BUT filling tank with sweets {fish naturally}....know keeping pets do to allergies is difficult

Love it 😊

I truly wish I could give this product a positive review, but unfortunately, my experience with the Blue Ribbon Rosewood Aquarium Fun Ornament Cool Shark No Fishing Sign has been nothing short of frustrating. As an avid aquarium enthusiast, I was initially excited to add a fun, unique decoration to my aquarium setup, but this ornament has left me regretting my purchase. I’ll break down my issues with this product so others can make an informed decision before buying.Quality of Materials: Cheap and UnderwhelmingTo begin with, the material quality of this ornament is far below expectations. The description mentions “rosewood,” but in reality, it feels like a cheap, poorly-made plastic with a thin veneer that’s supposed to mimic wood. The texture is not smooth, and the color looks faded and artificial rather than the rich, natural hues I was hoping for. I have purchased similar ornaments from other brands in the past, and those items at least felt sturdy and realistic. This one, however, feels flimsy and fragile. I had hoped it would add an organic touch to my aquarium, but it’s clear that the craftsmanship is subpar.The Shark: Not What I ExpectedThe shark design is laughable at best. When I first saw it on the website, I imagined a cool, sleek shark figure that would add a dynamic sense of motion to my tank. Instead, what I received was an awkward, clunky shark that looks more like a child’s toy than a serious aquarium ornament. The shape is not streamlined, and the proportions are off—making the shark look like a bizarre caricature rather than an aquatic predator. The paint job is sloppy too, with noticeable uneven spots of color and paint streaks along the body. The “cool shark” aspect is, frankly, laughable. It doesn’t look remotely realistic, and its oversized fins make it appear cartoonish.The "No Fishing" Sign: Completely UnnecessaryAnother aspect that really annoys me is the “No Fishing” sign. It feels completely out of place. I understand the desire to add humor to an aquarium ornament, but this sign does not belong in an aquatic setting. The idea of a “No Fishing” sign makes sense in a real-world context, but in an aquarium? It’s just a weird, out-of-place detail that ruins the illusion. The font is cheap, the text is poorly printed, and the sign itself is awkwardly attached to the shark’s base. It’s one of those things that looks like it was added as an afterthought to justify the price tag, but in reality, it’s just a silly, unnecessary feature that doesn’t add anything valuable to the ornament.Size and Proportions: Too Big and BulkyThe size of this ornament is another issue. It’s much larger than I anticipated. In the product description, it seemed like it would fit perfectly in my 20-gallon tank, but when it arrived, it was way too big. It takes up a significant amount of space and completely dominates the tank, making it difficult to arrange the rest of my decorations around it. If you have a smaller aquarium, this ornament will completely overpower the tank, and it could potentially create a visually overwhelming effect that detracts from the other fish and plants in the tank.I was also disappointed to see that it doesn’t fit well with my other tank decor. Its chunky and disproportionate size makes it difficult to create a harmonious underwater environment. Instead of enhancing the tank, it makes everything else look out of place. I ended up removing it because it looked so jarring next to my other decorations.Durability Concerns: Worrying Cracks and FadingAfter only a few days of use, I noticed some worrying cracks on the surface of the ornament. It wasn’t like I mishandled it or subjected it to rough treatment—this happened simply from being submerged in the water. Given that aquariums are a damp environment, I expected this ornament to hold up better than it has. After all, it’s advertised as an aquarium ornament, so it should be able to withstand being in the tank without deteriorating. However, it’s clear that this item wasn’t built with long-term durability in mind.The color also started to fade after just a few weeks of use. I didn’t expect it to look pristine forever, but I thought it would retain its vibrancy for longer than it has. The “rosewood” finish has started to dull, and the paint on the shark is now noticeably chipped in several places. I’ve had similar ornaments that have held up much better over time, so this level of deterioration is highly disappointing.Water Quality Issues: It Affects My AquariumI didn’t think that a simple ornament could have such a negative effect on the water quality of my tank, but sadly, it does. After placing the Blue Ribbon Rosewood Aquarium Fun Ornament in my aquarium, I started noticing a slight change in water quality. My fish started behaving oddly, and the water became cloudier than usual. After researching, I found that cheap ornaments like this one can leach chemicals into the water, which might affect the health of your aquatic pets. This was a serious concern for me, and I immediately removed the ornament from the tank. I’ve since found that other users have experienced similar issues, which makes me think that this ornament is made with subpar, potentially harmful materials.Customer Service: Unresponsive and UnhelpfulWhen I reached out to the manufacturer’s customer service team to discuss the issues I was experiencing with the product, I was met with a lack of helpfulness. They took several days to respond to my initial email, and when they finally did, their response was generic and unhelpful. Instead of offering a solution or providing information on a return or refund, they simply recommended that I try cleaning the ornament (which was already spotless) or adjusting my water parameters. This was frustrating, as I didn’t feel like they cared about my experience with their product. In the end, I gave up on trying to get any meaningful assistance.Inconsistent Description and Misleading AdvertisingOne of the most frustrating aspects of this purchase is how misleading the product description is. The ornament was advertised as a high-quality, decorative piece that would complement any aquarium. The reality is far from that. The pictures online made the ornament look much more realistic, and the overall description seemed to promise a fun yet tasteful addition to my tank. However, what I received was a cheap, poorly-made item that looks like it came from a bargain bin at a dollar store. The shark doesn’t look “cool” at all, and the “No Fishing” sign feels more like an afterthought.Moreover, the material wasn’t even close to the “rosewood” that was promised. Instead of a warm, natural wood-like appearance, I received a cheaply painted piece of plastic that looked nothing like what was pictured. If the product had been described accurately, I might have been able to manage my expectations, but the marketing was grossly misleading.Final Thoughts: A Complete Waste of MoneyIn conclusion, I deeply regret purchasing the Blue Ribbon Rosewood Aquarium Fun Ornament Cool Shark No Fishing Sign. It’s poorly made, unattractive, and has negatively affected my aquarium’s aesthetic and water quality. What seemed like a fun, quirky addition to my setup turned out to be a waste of money, and I now have a product sitting unused because it doesn’t meet the basic standards I expect from aquarium ornaments.If you're looking for an ornament that enhances your aquarium with a realistic or tasteful design, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. There are many other options available that offer better quality, more realistic designs, and longer-lasting durability. Unfortunately, this ornament falls far short of those expectations, and I would advise against purchasing it unless you’re okay with a cheap, poorly-designed, and ineffective product. Save your money and avoid this disappointing ornament at all costs.
