some of my DIY breeding caves.

Post by hotplecogirl »

These are a few of the caves i have made.The last one is a great design and L240 really like this one.It is designed so the eggs have a harder time falling out.

You made these? They're really nice and stylish. Will you have any available for sale? Ever thought of making the top textured and unglazed so that java moss can attach itself to it?

Thank you for the compliments.I did indeed make them.I have a few textured ones with moss ball(forget the name of the plant) on it and it looks cool.
They seem to prefer these caves to be very smooth.After i test the best ones will be made again and will be for sale.

So any luck with the caves? Any plecs breed in them? Are there any pics of the caves in the tank (with and without plants)? Will any of these be offered for sale in the near future?
