Best Diy Caves For The Tank

[SugarQube]

Wanting a couple of caves for my tank, bought one off ebay and it looks like a loaf of bread (honestly it does) Was thinking of making a couple from coconut shells do they sink ok ? I am not too keen on the flower pot look either although they look nice in a few tanks I have seen on here. Any suggestions

i have a few coconut shells in my tank, my loaches & plec love them. have you tried a few pieces of slate built up to make a cave they look good as well

I've taken PVC piping in various sizes and used aquarium silicone to attach small to medium stones (to hide the fact that it's PVC). Throw a little sand in there, and Voila! a cave.

depending on the size of your fish - shot glasses are effective, if you cover them in sand you can't see what they really are because they are clear!
