Aquarium

The mixcolor caves are used in the breeding of various L-numbers (armored catfish), and are ideal hiding places for other catfish, crayfish, shrimp, loaches, etc. Armored catfish (L-numbers) use caves to lay their eggs, which are often guarded by the male until they hatch.

For breeding L-numbers, we recommend using multiple shapes and sizes so that the L-numbers can choose the one they prefer. In addition to the mixcolor caves, we also have rectangular caves, D-shaped caves, triangular caves, XXL caves, and catfish caves. L-numbers will choose a cave that is not much larger than themselves, so keep this in mind when purchasing. Try placing the caves in different flow directions, which the fish will appreciate. If you’re not breeding fish, caves are also great hiding places for, among others, loaches, large crayfish, large shrimp, catfish, etc.

Terrarium

The caves mixcolour can also be used as hiding places for reptiles and amphibians such as frogs and geckos. Because the mixcolor caves are made of ceramic, they can also be perfectly used as moist caves.

sustainable ceramic

Our ceramic is 100% safe for humans, animals, and the environment. The mixcolor caves have a long lifespan and are handmade from ceramic. Because the color is baked into the clay, the color will never fade. This makes the caves easy to clean as well. Cleaning can easily be done with a soft sponge and warm water.
