Hobby Aqua-Cave – Large

The Hobby Aqua-Cave is a ceramic cave that gives aquarium fish a safe retreat. Shy fish use caves to feel secure, and territorial species such as cichlids and catfish often claim them as a home or spawning site. This is the Large size.

Choosing a size and placing it

As a rough guide, the Small suits dwarf cichlids, small catfish and shrimp, the Medium fits medium-sized cichlids and plecos, and the Large, at around 13 x 13 cm, gives bigger cichlids and catfish room to turn inside. Set the cave directly on the bottom glass or a base layer before adding the rest of the substrate, so digging fish cannot undermine it and make it topple. In cichlid or community tanks, offer at least one more cave than the number of territorial fish, which helps reduce squabbles over space. Point the opening away from strong filter flow, and siphon around the cave during water changes, as waste can collect inside.

Good to know
