Skull Fish Tank Decor, Accessories & Ornaments

Skulls are one of the those things that can make anyone feel a little uncomforatble. They can add a little mystery, danger or even make you afraid to even look at your fish tank.

Let’s say you want to give your next house guest that subtle threat….Sleeping with the fishes (Godfather anyone?)

Anyways, when I initially first started looking for the perfect skull ornament I had no idea there were so many variations like;

  • Human skulls
  • Pirates
  • Dragons
  • Dinosaurs
  • Caves
  • Vikings

And on and on….

Skull decorations have always been a popular thing to put in your fish tank, especially if you’re going for that gothic, Caribbean, or even spooky look. Heck – maybe you just want your tank to look like a roman tomb.

In addition to looking AWESOME! Skulls are great for your fish, which love to explore and hide in the skulls and bones…I can’t get enough of it when my fish pick algae out of the eye sockets.

Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find all the different skull Decor, Accessories & Ornaments you need below.

I even added some videos and some images of complete setups, using these skulls so you can get some great set up ideas for your next aquascape.

I hope you enjoy!
