The Apistogramma cave is a small terracotta cave with a hole on one side. They are designed for spawning Apistogramma species as well as other dwarf cichlids. Kuhli loaches, shrimp, small plecos and more will also find valuable shelter in this cave.
The cave itself is made out of natural terracotta clay and is safe for all animals. It is designed to hold up well over time. It has a flat top for easy stacking or to fit nicely within rock structures in your aquarium.
Use caution with fish like clown loaches who like to wedge themselves into tight places.
Cave measures 2.75 in. wide x 1.5 in. tall
Hole in cave measures about 1 in. in diameter

These caves are well made and sized correctly for my Cockatoo. They look good and add the aesthetics of the design. I highly recommend them

All my apistos seem to really love this hut. Including plecos, and loaches. My leopard loaches have used this as their breeding home, my calico Pleco as his sleeping den, and other apistos as their home. Definitely plan on purchasing more. Shipping was super quick and the packing was great. Nothing was broke.

I have 5 Apistos and they all love this. I've had this one for several months and there's always someone in there. I only ordered one initially and just ordered 4 more because I just recently got 2 more Apistos. They all try to pile up in 1 cave. 2, maybe 3, could fit in there at one time. I decided to get them all their own so there's not any potential problems. I would definitely recommend these to anyone with Apistos. All of mine love it and took right to it.
The one inside the cave in the picture I just added to my tank today and she's already in it.

Cute weighted little cave for shrimp or kuhli loaches. Can't wait to use

I haven't used them for apistos, they're in a couple 10s where I raise baby bushynose... They're too big for adult bushynose, but my little babies seem to like em during the daytime... Maybe soon I'll get some apistos, after all, I just brought home 87 more tanks recently, 50+ currently running... Final judgement: they're great quality and serve many purposes...!

Not sure if I ever posted a review but I just noticed today that this guy was living here I purchased this for my up and coming males to help combat aggressive behavior and offer a variety of shapes and sizes as far as caves and openings 25 outa 10 stars

The cave arrived a few weeks ago. Solid, beautifully made, the finish is very nice. I was concerned as I saw several comments that it was too small. I dropped it in a few days ago and my triple reds spawned today. I am about to order 2 more. Only wish they came in other colors to work in with decor. The brown is really nice.

My juvenile apisto loves it so much and my corydoras like to rest on the flat top. I dont know if he’ll still fit when he’s bigger but for now I enjoy it.

I got this for a shrimp tank I'm still cycling. I used krylon fusion spray paint so it would blend in more with my tank and its dried nicely. I can't wait for little shrimpies to enjoy their cave. Would be a nice addition to any nano tank.

My Kribs immediately took to the cave, they laid their second set of eggs in there! This is the second round of them trying to be parents, round 2 didn’t take! Hopefully now they figured this out and round 3 will be better for them…
K
Apparently my pair was ready 🤷🏻♀️ But about a week or two after receiving my cave I have a proud mama 😊
M
Very happy with this! It’s the perfect size for apistos and arrived quickly, well packaged, and I love the design & color. It blends into the tank very nicely compared to the bright orange terra cotta pots I typically use, combining function with more naturalistic fashion. Very, very happy with this product!

In my experience, Bettas always enjoy hidey holes and swimming through hollow stuff.I thought I'd offer my betta, Inky, one of these and he's taken a liking to it. I decorated it with an Anubias Gold Coin, also from Aquarium Co-op.
I actually ended up purchasing two of these, and stacked them on top of one another, and glued an anubias petite to the top hut. My german blue rams, as well as my macmasteri apistos have moved into their duplex and they love it! Not a single complaint being the land lord, and they're always on time with rent and utilities. Very little to none bickering or noise complaints from the apisto couple upstairs.
The rams have already been in the works of creating their own little family, so I suppose I'll need to buy and decorate some extensions to their duplex in the close future. But so far my tenants are extremely happy! It couldnt have worked out better!

This was my first order of this little hut and I put it in with my KIrbensis and within days they Ha taken up residency and laid eggs. I thought it would be too small for them but they love it. Well made and good product
