The Apistogramma cave is a small terracotta cave with a hole on one side. They are designed for spawning Apistogramma species as well as other dwarf cichlids. Kuhli loaches, shrimp, small plecos and more will also find valuable shelter in this cave.
Perfect Size for Cave Spawners
Apistogramma, kribensis, and many types of cave spawners love laying their eggs in these apisto caves. Depending on how many breeding pairs you have, you can buy several to place in various corners of the aquarium to make sure everyone gets their own space.
Nice Hiding Spot
Kuhli loaches, dwarf shrimp, corydoras, smaller plecos, and even eels have been known to seek shelter in these apisto caves. Just make sure they are small or flexible enough that they won't get stuck inside.
Purchased these for some kribensis I have to breed in.. Placed in tank a few hours later they were inside checking it out they seem to enjoy them..

All Apistos Love it!
All my apistos seem to really love this hut. Including plecos, and loaches. My leopard loaches have used this as their breeding home, my calico Pleco as his sleeping den, and other apistos as their home. Definitely plan on purchasing more. Shipping was super quick and the packing was great. Nothing was broke.

Aquarium co op apisto caves are vert good for small fish to hide in my guppies and platy babies will hide in them if they get spooked. And my black loaches use them also.

Bristlenose!
Really good for apistos, but watch out... A fully grown bristlenose can easily fit in these as well!

Make bigger sizes
Needs to be bigger. Full grown apistos of the bigger variety won't use it
