Catfish cave made of clay short & shallow
The natural habitats of our fosterlings offer many different structures to which the different species have adapted. For example, there are some L-catfish species that live between stones in narrow crevices and reproduce there.
This small clay cave is rather flat and very short, just a small crevice cave. Combined with stones and our larger crevice cave, it offers L-catfish such as L168, L034 and other crevice dwellers a varied and species-appropriate hiding landscape.
We use stoneware clay for the production of our clay products, which can be fired high and, depending on the product, contains a varying proportion of fireclay.
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 growth, which in turn is very popular with 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, which minimizes the risk of the eggs being flushed out of the cave.
