The CeramicNature Catfish Cave - Medium is an essential habitat solution designed for aquarium hobbyists who keep bottom-dwelling species like L-number Plecos, Loaches, and ornamental shrimp. Crafted from high-quality clay in the Netherlands, these caves offer a secure, natural-looking environment that promotes stress reduction and successful breeding cycles. While these caves are extremely durable and chemically inert, users should ensure the medium size is appropriate for the specific adult size of their fish to avoid them becoming stuck.

These caves are primarily designed for freshwater environments; using them in high-pH or marine setups may not be recommended due to potential interactions with the clay material.
No, CeramicNature caves are colourfast. The colour is inherent to the high-quality clay and firing process, so it will not peel or flake.
The medium size is generally suitable for small-to-medium catfish and plecos. Ensure the fish can turn around comfortably inside without getting stuck.
While the clay is fired and durable, we recommend a warm water rinse rather than boiling, as extreme temperature shocks can potentially lead to cracking.
They have a significant weight compared to plastic decorations, which is an advantage as it keeps them from floating or drifting due to current.
Ensure the cave is partially buried in the substrate to provide a stable base, or wedge it securely between larger hardscape elements like rocks or driftwood.
Remove the cave during a water change and scrub the surface with a stiff, clean brush. If algae persists, check your lighting duration or nutrient levels in the water.
To set up your cave, rinse it thoroughly under warm, dechlorinated water to remove any dust from the manufacturing process. Do not use soap or detergents. Place the cave directly on the aquarium substrate or nestle it slightly into the gravel/sand to ensure it remains stable. For breeding purposes, ensure the cave is situated in a location that provides privacy. For care, simply remove the cave during your regular tank maintenance and gently brush off any excess algae or detritus with a clean aquarium-only brush. The material is robust and will not degrade under standard freshwater conditions.
