Catfish Cave 11cm

AquaKeramik Catfish Cave Crab Cave made of clay Ø 30-35 mm Length approx. 10-11 cm Front entrance

This clay cave, which is closed on one side and has a front entrance, has a length of approx. 10-11 cm and an inner diameter of approx. 3-3.5 cm.

With these clay caves for various types of crustaceans, you offer your animals an excellent hiding place and retreat, especially in the juvenile period as well as during molting.

In addition to crabs, this clay cave can of course also be used to breed various L-catfish. It would be suitable for e.g. L46, L144, L173, L174, LDA67.

We use stoneware clay for the production of our pottery, which can be fired to a high temperature and contains a varying proportion of fireclay depending on the product.

On the one hand, this makes our caves very stable and durable. On the other hand, the surfaces are never completely smooth, which provides an excellent basis for surface vegetation, which in turn is very much grazed by the catfish.

This slightly rough surface of the cave also benefits the adhesive properties of most fish eggs without damaging the eggs.

The eggs adhere better to the cave wall, minimizing the risk of the eggs being flushed out of the cave.

Our caves are handcrafted and shaped. Therefore, each has different characteristics on the outside as well as on the inside. In any case, you will receive a unique piece.
