Vallisneria Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I use coconut shells(buy a coconut and cut in half), terra cotta pots, ABS/PVC pipes or just stacked rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 In addition to those mentioned above, I've also built caves by siliconing tile into a cave - it's my biggest BN Pleco's favorite breeding cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaFishMommy Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 you could make your own from clay. would be a fun project for you and your kiddo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Heather Edwards, a potter in Bon Accord (google her) hand threw me some tubes that I use as caves. They are about 8 inches long and 1 1/2 wide at the mouth, tapered to a closed end. The inside is smooth but we ran a wood-grain design randomly on the outside and used iron oxide glaze (food safe so fish safe) only on the design. The rest of the exterior is plain and smooth. It was just to break up the tube visually (almost like very shallow fork tines swirled across the surface). Our Queen Arabesque like them. I have not used them in the BN tank as I have other caves in it. You could contact her or a local potter. Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayba Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 you could make your own from clay. would be a fun project for you and your kiddo! After seeing what the kids can do to a room just with play dough, (my little boy is a whirlwind) doing it with clay would be quite fun, and really really messy. It would be a good out on the deck project though! On second thought, maybe I should make some after they go to sleep this weekend. I will also look for a coconut at the grocery store today, the kids would get a kick outta that!lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I get mine from fairdeal. Within a few days of getting it my BN was inside. There are many other hiding areas in the tank so the pleco musta chosen the clay cone for a reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
