Setting up the Ceramic Tree Cave is straightforward. Rinse the cave thoroughly under plain tap water to remove any dust or debris before introducing it into your aquarium. Avoid using soaps or detergents, as these can be harmful to aquatic life. The shelter home is compatible with most freshwater aquarium setups and is suitable for a wide range of fish, shrimp, and invertebrates. To incorporate moss, simply tie or glue moss varieties like Java moss onto the top surface using aquarium-safe adhesive or fishing line. For care, regular gravel vacuuming around the base of the cave will help maintain cleanliness. If algae becomes excessive, it can be gently scrubbed with an aquarium-safe brush during a water change. The ceramic material is non-porous to fish waste, meaning it doesn't require special cleaning beyond occasional rinsing.
