  • Makes fish feel safe

This pleco cave provides the perfect spot for plecos to breed or hide just as they would do in their natural habitat. Works well for bristlenose plecos as well. It can also provide a great hiding place for other catfish and some dwarf cichlids.

Easy Way to Breed Plecos

Bristlenose, rubber lip, and many other types of plecos love to use these caves. Just stick a few in the aquarium, cover them with plants or decor to hide them, and feed the plecos plenty of food to condition them for breeding.

Great Size for Plecos

This terracotta cave fits most plecos that are 6 inches or less. It also has triangular sides so that it won't roll around and can be easily stacked with other caves to create a "pleco hotel."

Pleco cave does the job!

I’m very happy with this product. I bought two: one for my bristlenose pleco and the other as a feeding place for my six corys. The cave has a small footprint and provides plenty of room for my fish. This is a good buy!

Cave

Many bushynose plecos babies have been made in these caves in my fishrooms...! I probably have between 40-50 by now... They're the only ones I've used and I like them...! Another great product from the Aquarium Co-op gang...!

Perfect

It's super sturdy, made out of a way stronger material than I thought it would be. It's hot some weight to it. And my plecos love it.

Pleco loves it!

It’s funny because my calico Pleco actually prefers the Apisto hut to sleep in all day, but he likes to burrow under the Pleco cave. He dug himself a hole.
The material itself is very well made. I plan on purchasing more when some other plecos get a little bigger.

Bristlenose

As my bristlenose pleco has grown, it out grew it’s hiding spot. As soon as I put this cave into the tank it became its new home. I think it’s the perfect size, and my plants should start to blend it in to the scape soon.

Shrimp Hideout

Placed in my tank hoping that my loaches would have a place to hide. While they hid under it, my shrimp tended to hide inside it.

Great size for adult Bristlenose plecos

Got 3 of these caves, spread out in my 125 Gal. Was a bit concerned about caves maybe being too small since my adult's Bristlenose tails were sticking out, but they still spawned 100+ fry, so they work great!

Awesome Pleco cave!!

I purchased the Pleco cave for a pair of my rubber lipped plecos. Craftsmanship is great and it looks great in my tank. The plecos still haven't decided to use it yet though. I'm hoping it'll grow on them! Delivery was great and fast. I received my package in 2 business days in VA.

My place took over the cave in 20 minutes

Pleco absolutely loves this thing.

They've spawned in it multiple times, and now I'm overrun by super red bristlenose plecos. What a fun problem to have!

Cute home for my corydoras

Fits perfectly in the corner of my tank. I’ve seen one of my albino Cory catfish in it already. Definitely a great place for any of my tank babies to hide 👍🏾

Happy home

My plecos are still pretty small so the caves are currently a bit big for them. They enjoy sitting in them tho.

I ordered two caves both arrived intact with no issues. They have a consistent build quality and feel robust. Hoping for some babies once my super reds get older.

Pleco likes it

Perfect size for a pleco, I covered it with marimo moss balls to help it blend in. My pleco didn’t seem to notice it at first, but now he hangs out in it all the time. My cories do too. Definitely worth the money.

The default to 5 Stars is right on LOL

I Love these caves. My plecos currently ignore them. The bristle nose I have are only 3/4” and don’t really care about being in a poke yet LOL

I put this cave in my 60 gal tank where i have a pair of bn plecos and well the tank has plenty of hiding spots they had no spawned. In only 5 days after putting this in i got a spawn of eggs and again 32 days later!!

Great Cave for Pleco

My Pleco went right into this and has made it his home. Now that I added a female to my 40 gallon tank, I just bought another one, so they both have one.
