Rio Xingu Crevasse Cave for Crevasse Dwellers

Rio Xingu Crevasse Cave for Crevasse Dwellers

The natural habitat of many inhabitants of the Rio Xingu consists of a distinctive rocky landscape, stones form crevices with each other, sandstone-like formations with small and larger pebbles form numerous hiding places.

We were very fortunate to be able to get such a piece. In an elaborate process, it was recorded with a 3D scanner, a 3D model was printed from the data and this in turn was used to produce a plaster mold. This now serves us as a tool to create crevice caves for you and your catfish, which are very close to the original, a natural cave like in the Rio Xingu, the original habitat of many L-catfish we have cared for.

Different sized or small animals also require different cave sizes, so we offer you different sized Xingu fissures.

The small variant is ideal for flat-built catfish such as Pseudolithoxus and Lasiancistrus. The middle one is suitable for slightly larger animals such as L082, L168 or Ancistrus ranunculus L034.
Another larger variant is still in the works.

Size approx. 19-20x10x3.5 cm
Pseudolithoxus, Lasiancistrus, small L046
