aquarium plants DIY Aquarium Caves,Fish Caves, Pleco Caves, Dwarf Cichlid Caves. Homemade and Easy.

Are you looking for pleco caves? Cichlid caves? In this easy aquarium DIY tutorial Cory shows you how to make a spawning cave out of a simple terra cotta pot. Most fish caves cost $10 or up, but can get a pot at any local hardware store for about $1.

Making a DIY aquarium cave is simple, firstly soak the pot in a bucket of water overnight. You will need a hole saw of the size appropriate for your fish. Cory uses a 1 1/8” bit for most apistogramma, dwarf African cichlids, and bristlenose plecos. Hole saws with a pilot bit are preferred. Because the surface of the flower pot is not evenly flat you will need to adjust pressure as you work. Be sure to keep the DIY spawning cave and drill bit wet to help it cool. If you are seeing steam, you are drilling too fast, think of the drill bit like a masonry grinder. Once the hole is drilled make sure there are no sharp edges (there usually aren’t) and the DIY fish tank cave is ready to use! But it can get even better.

Rhizome plants like Anubias Barteri are ideal for being glued to you pleco/dwarf cichlid caves. Be sure to use super glue GEL, and apply it to a dried area of the aquarium cave. You can cover the hole on top (used for drainage in flower pots) to block light, and the roots will trail down into the cave providing a more natural environment. This is especially good for more sensitive fish like kuhli loaches. Make sure the glue on your newly decorated DIY fish tank cave is completely dry before putting it in the tank. Now enjoy your spawning fish!
