In addition to round breeding caves, we also offer rectangular breeding caves, D-shape caves, triangle dugouts, XXL dens, catfish caves, and mix color caves. L-numbers will choose a breeding cave not much larger than themselves, so please consider this when purchasing. Also, try to place the caves in different flow directions, as the fish will appreciate this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do not want to breed fish, these caves also make excellent hiding places for botias, large crayfish, large shrimps, catfish, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eL-Numbers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound small breeding cave: Suitable for small L-numbers up to 10 cm such as Bristlenose Ancistrus, L002, L015, L046, L104, L129, L340, L400, L411, etc. Also suitable for young L-numbers and small crayfish\/shrimps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound medium breeding cave: Suitable for L-numbers up to 12 cm such as L046, L102, L129, L136, L144, L181, L199, L201, L236, L260, L262, and L397.

The breeding caves have a long lifespan and are handmade from ceramic. As the colour is ingrained in the clay, the colour will never disappear. This also makes the breeding caves easy to clean. Cleaning is easy with a soft sponge and warm water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CeramicNature","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ Red","offer_id":41809555456069,"sku":"45000","price":2.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Brown","offer_id":41809555488837,"sku":"45001","price":2.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Red","offer_id":41809555521605,"sku":"45004","price":3.02,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Brown","offer_id":41809555554373,"sku":"45005","price":3.02,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Red","offer_id":41809555587141,"sku":"45012","price":3.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Brown","offer_id":41809555619909,"sku":"45013","price":3.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Xlarge \/ Red","offer_id":41809555652677,"sku":"45016","price":5.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Xlarge \/ Brown","offer_id":41809555685445,"sku":"45017","price":5.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/5070\/2405\/files\/45000-Cavesmallroundred.jpg?v=1738592992","url":"https:\/\/ceramicnature.com\/nl\/products\/cave-round","provider":"CeramicNature","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
