This multipurpose utilitarian aquarium ornament functions as shelter, security, privacy, entertainment and nursery for Pleco and Catfish. The pleco cave by Jor’s composition, texture, and look make fish feel in their element. It also affords them a much-needed retreat from the stress and hardships of the aquarium while adding a touch of rustic beauty. If fish can withdraw to a hideaway whenever they want to, they tend to be better rested, better adjusted and much more likely to breed. That is why the Pleco Cave makes such an ideal underwater grotto. The slender, solitary opening and cloistered recess of this unique, hand-carved piece encourage breeding. At the same time, its enticing portal, gently textured surface and raw irregularities provide fish and other bottom feeders with a fun and stimulating environment as well as a protected place for egg-laying. Compact yet spacious, both fish and fish tank benefit from the Pleco Cave’s ingenious structure. It occupies little of the precious space inside the tank while providing an astonishingly generous interior that can accommodate up to two or three fish at any one time. Enhance the lives of your fish and the aesthetics of your fishbowl with this stunning aquatic essential. Note: Always rinse before use, even after boiling or soaking. By the way, a "post-boil soak" in freshwater is a recommended step too. Warm Notice: As this is a raw product, every item is unique in itself. Hence, it might come with Holes or there might not be any hole on the top.

Beautiful crafted all natural coconut shell
My common plecostomaus moved right in, an amazing must have piece for your aquarium. Provides shelter, comfort and it is all natural, so catfish love it. Here's what I did.. I simply boiled water, washed cave really good, then placed in boiled water with activated carbon over night. Then wash again and place in aquarium and you are good to go. Mine came with a natural hole above that's perfect for a plant to grow up out of and have java moss maybe covering the whole entire cave. Overall, I'm completely satisfied, I love that this is a natural product and the cave is the perfect size with the perfect craftsmanship.

Very lightweight
I have a pretty big plecostomus and was hoping this would work. It is very light and he basically moves it around the aquarium. I will need to find something else. It would be great for very small fish though.

It’s shorter than you’d think
A lot more shallow than the picture led me to believe. The cave opening is only 1.25-1.5” high so not even my pleco, let alone my other fish, like it.

Great for Bettas
This little cave is great. All my fish use it in some way. My female betta mainly uses it for sleep but my neon tetra did as well at some point. My cory catfish like to rest on top as well as my shrimp. It tends to rotate a bit but that's not a big deal.

Peek a boo!
My betta loves this thing. And it's much bigger than it looks!

Cute and the Fish Like It
My pleco and cory cats took an instant liking to their new cave. Sometimes they graze the outside, sometimes they hide inside. It is so cute, I had to redecorate the rest of my aquarium!

So good I bought three
These are perfect caves. I ended up having to buy three of them as they are so popular.
