home made betta caves

[red-devil0602]

Just thought i would show you all my home made betta caves, my babies love them, they were made using dessert pots and air line

 

[Synirr]

Woah, those are awesome little caves!!! I might have to make some of those
Great idea!

 

[eudielynn]

I love 'em. Great idea!!

 

[Bloo]

They do look great. But I don't quite understand about the air line ??

 

[-*-MicHAeL-*-]

they look cool mite make one LOL

 

[red-devil0602]

the air line is there to stop the bettas hurting themselves on the cut edge

 

[Bloo]

ahhhh gotcha !
Though sealing the rough edge could perhaps also be done by heating the plastic with a lighter (or similar). Though I suppose this should not be done by kids - as we know what happens when playing with fire

 

[eudielynn]

I actually like the look of the air line. It gives the edge a "finished" look.

i will be making more tomorrow when i buy more desserts its as good excuse as any to buy desserts

How do you stop them floating up to the top? are they just pushed into the gravel?

I have no substrate in my divided betta tanks so would need to weight the cave down with something

I like your idea though they're good

 

[red-devil0602]

as long as there is no trapped air in them they should stay down

where do you get these cups from?

 

[Bloo]

where do you get these cups from?

In the dessert isle
Here in the UK they usually hold small puddings such as custard, rice pudding, Crème Brûlée etc.
