Gift Ideas for Aquarists: The Best Gifts Under €20

Finding a gift for someone with an aquarium isn't that easy. People prefer to pick fish and plants themselves, and with equipment you never know what they already have. Small accessories that every aquarist can use, on the other hand, almost always work. Here are my gift ideas, sorted by budget and by type, and all under €20.

Gifts under €10: perfect for Secret Santa

  • Cloud feeding rings, set of 3 (from €6.99): Three floating cloud-shaped rings for food or floating plants. The mix set includes different sizes, so one is sure to fit.
  • Heart ring (from €4.99): A floating heart-shaped ring. A lovely small gift for a partner or friend with an aquarium.
  • Feeding holder with suction cup, set of 3 (€8.99): For anyone with shrimp or catfish. Spear a slice of cucumber, press it onto the glass, done.
  • Duckweed net (€7.99): Anyone with floating plants will love this net. One pass and the surface is clear again.
  • Moss ball for planting and shrimp dome (each from €4.99): Decor with an open pattern that moss can grow over and shrimp can climb on.

A little bigger: gifts up to €20

  • Hanging plant basket (from €10.99): Lets houseplants like pothos grow with their roots in the aquarium. If you have a pothos yourself, cut a cutting and add it to the gift. It doesn't get much more personal.
  • Feeding ring with suction cup (from €7.99, large sizes up to €14.99): Always stays in the same spot and doesn't drift away with the current.
  • Voronoi cave (from €7.99): A hiding spot for shrimp, catfish and fry that can be covered with moss.
  • Hose holder and water change diffuser (each €15.99): For anyone who curses during every water change. The hose stays on the rim and the water no longer stirs up the substrate.

The right gift for every type

For shrimp fans: Feeding holder, shrimp dome, moss ball or cave. Shrimp keepers love anything their animals can climb and graze on. More in the guide Feeding shrimp vegetables.

For plant lovers: Plant basket and floating rings. Anyone with floating plants like duckweed or frogbit knows how they take over the whole tank. A ring keeps them in one place.

For the practical ones: Hose holder, diffuser and net. Things people rarely buy for themselves, but appreciate at every water change.

For beginners: A feeding ring in 100 to 150 mm and a feeding holder. Fits almost any tank and makes feeding easier from day one.

Tips to get the gift right

  • Tank size unknown? For rings, 100 to 150 mm fits most tanks from about 54 litres. For small nano tanks, 50 to 75 mm is better. The cloud mix set is the safe choice because it includes different sizes.
  • Which colour? Black is the least noticeable in the tank and suits any aquascape. If they like it more colourful, go for blue, green or purple as an eye-catcher.
  • Combining pays off. From 2 items you automatically get 15% off, and shipping is free from €35. Two or three small items make a nice gift package.
  • Order in time. I print, check and pack every part myself. So order a little earlier before the holidays to make sure everything arrives on time.

Quick summary

  • Under €10: cloud set, heart ring, feeding holder, net, moss ball or dome.
  • Up to €20: plant basket, ring with suction cup, cave, hose holder or diffuser.
  • If you don't know the tank size, go for the mix set or 100 to 150 mm.
  • 15% off from 2 items, free shipping from €35.
