Description

The catfish caves are handmade in our own workshop in the Netherlands. All CeramicNature catfish caves are made of brown ceramic, which is safe for humans, animals, and the environment. They are available in 5 different sizes and have a brown tree trunk color and texture. The interior is smooth, while the exterior of the caves features a tree trunk texture. Because we handcraft everything, each cave is unique.

Aquarium

The caves are the ideal decoration in aquariums with an Amazon or rainforest vibe. With their lifelike tree trunk appearance, they blend nicely with real wood and our root backgrounds. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, catfish caves can also be used in the breeding of L-numbers, smaller catfish, and crayfish.

For breeding L-numbers, we recommend using multiple shapes and sizes so that the L-numbers can choose the one they prefer. In addition to catfish caves, we also offer rectangular caves, D-shaped caves, triangular caves, XXL caves, and cavity stone caves. L-numbers will choose a cave that is not much larger than themselves, so keep this in mind when purchasing. Try placing the caves in different flow directions, which the fish will appreciate. If you’re not breeding fish, caves are also excellent hiding spots for, among others, loaches, large crayfish, large shrimp, catfish, etc.

L-numbers

• Xsmall caves are suitable for small L-numbers up to 13cm, such as the Bristlenose Ancistrus, L002, L015, L046, L104, L129, L340, L400, L411, etc.
• Small caves are suitable for L-numbers up to 16 cm, such as the L046, L102, L129, L136, L144, L181, L199, L201, L236, L260, L262, and L397. The L046 is bred by various breeders in our round smalland medium caves. But our catfish caves are also widely used for breeding. Additionally, they can be used as hiding places for crayfish, shrimp, catfish, etc.
• Medium caves are suitable for breeding L-numbers up to 21 cm, such as the L066, L070, L144, L201, L204, and L333.
• Large catfish caves are suitable for larger L-numbers up to 26 cm, such as the L070 and the L264.
• Xlarge catfish caves are suitable for the largest L-numbers up to 30cm, such as the L075, L081, L128, and the L200.

Terrarium

Catfish caves can also serve as hiding places for reptiles and amphibians such as frogs and geckos. Because they are made of ceramic, they can also be perfectly used as moist caves.

Sustainable ceramic

Our ceramic is 100% safe for humans, animals, and the environment. The caves have a long lifespan and are handmade from ceramic. Because the color is baked into the clay, the color will never fade. This makes them easy to clean as well. Cleaning can easily be done with a soft sponge and warm water.
