caves

how do u lot make your caves for your malwi cichlid tank it has loads of rocks in the tank

 

[thecichlidaddict]

By piling up lots of rocks you are automatically creating a network of caves.

i heard you have to stick the rock togever with something but what

 

[thecichlidaddict]

There is no need to stick them together with anything, this will only make it more difficult to remove and re-arrange them. Pile them up so that they are a stable structure, with a bit of experimenting it isn't very hard. Remember to lay the rocks on the bottom of the aquarium, not on top of the substrate, otherwise the fish will dig under them and cause a disasterous collapse.
