The cichlid caves are an ideal hiding place for cichlids, cherry barbs, corydoras species, catfish, and other fish species. They are handcrafted in the Netherlands in 3 different sizes. The structure of the cichlid caves is meticulously recreated by CeramicNature from trees found in nature. Because each cichlid cave is handcrafted, each item is unique.

Aquarium

The cichlid caves are perfect for most fish species. Our ceramic decorations are a good option to reduce aggression in fish and reptiles. Due to their lifelike appearance, they can easily be combined with real wood and our CeramicNature backgrounds. Besides having a beautiful appearance, the cichlid caves can be used as hiding places for loaches, catfish, crayfish, cichlids, and other fish species.

Furthermore, you can also cover them with various types of plants and mosses such as java moss or anubias. Use aquarium glue or fishing line to secure the plant to the ceramic for the first few weeks. After this period, the plant will securely grow onto the ornament. The ceramic decorations will also function as a biological filter in the aquarium since the structure of the ceramic is porous. Micro-cavities host numerous bacteria that, through biological breakdown, remove harmful substances from the aquarium water. All in all, a fantastic product!

Terrarium

The cichlid caves are widely used as hiding places for reptiles and amphibians such as frogs, geckos, and other species. Because they are made of ceramic, they can also be perfectly used as moist or warm caves. The ceramic is porous and retains heat or moisture well.

Sustainable ceramic

Our ceramic is 100% safe for humans, animals, and the environment. They have a long lifespan and are handcrafted from ceramic. Because the color is baked into the clay, the color will never fade. This makes them easy to clean as well. Cleaning can easily be done with a soft sponge and warm water. The decoration is made of ceramic, a well-known environmentally friendly material. We do not use plastic or other slow-degrading materials. Furthermore, the ceramic decorations last extremely long. In short, a sustainable product in every aspect!
