Catfish Cave

Catfish Caves

ReptiFish makes the catfish caves by hand in 5 different sizes:

• Catfish cave Xsmall: 12 x 5 x 4.5 cm
• Catfish cave Small: 15 x 7 x 5 cm
• Catfish cave Medium: 19 x 7.5 x 5.5 cm
• Catfish cave Large: 24 x 9 x 7 cm
• Catfish cave Xlarge: 28 x 12 x 8.5 cm

The catfish caves are handmade in our own workshop in the Netherlands. All ReptiFish catfish caves are made of brown ceramic, which is safe for humans, animals, and nature. They are available in 5 different sizes and have a brown trunk color and structure. The inside is smooth, and the outside of the catfish cave has a tree trunk structure. Because we make everything by hand, each cave is unique.

Aquarium

The caves are the ideal decoration in aquariums with an Amazonian or rainforest look. Thanks to the natural-looking tree trunk appearance, they fit beautifully between real wood and with our root background. Apart from their beautiful appearance, catfish caves can also be used for breeding L-numbers, smaller catfish, and crayfish.

For breeding L-numbers, we recommend using several shapes and sizes so that the L-numbers can choose which they like best. Besides catfish caves, we also have rectangular breeding caves, D-shape breeding caves, triangle breeding caves, XXL breeding caves, and cavity stone caves. L-numbers will choose a cave not much bigger than themselves, so take this into account when buying. Also, try to place the breeding caves in different flow directions, as the fish will appreciate this. If you don’t want to breed fish, they are also very fine hiding places for botias, large crayfish, large shrimps, catfish, etc.

L-numbers

• The Xsmall caves are suitable for small L-numbers up to 13 cm, such as Bristlenose Ancistrus, L002, L015, L046, L104, L129, L340, L400, L411, etc.
• The small caves are suitable for L-numbers up to 16 cm, such as L046, L102, L129, L136, L144, L181, L199, L201, L236, L260, L262, and L397. The L046 is bred by several breeders in our round small and medium laying caves. But our catfish caves are also widely used for breeding. Of course, they can also be used as hiding places for crayfish, shrimps, catfish, etc.
• The medium caves are suitable for breeding L-numbers up to 21 cm, such as L066, L070, L144, L201, L204, and L333.
• The large catfish caves are suitable for the larger L-numbers up to 26 cm, such as L070 and L264.
• The Xlarge catfish caves are suitable for the largest L-numbers up to 30 cm, such as L075, L081, L128, and L200.

Terrarium

The catfish caves can also be used as hiding places for reptiles and amphibians such as frogs and geckos. As they are made of ceramic, you can also use them perfectly as a humid cave.

Durable Ceramics

Our ceramics are 100% safe for humans, animals, and the environment. The caves have a long lifespan and are handmade of ceramic. As the colour is ingrained in the clay, the colour will never disappear. This also makes them easy to clean. Cleaning is easy with a soft sponge and warm water.
