Scotty,

All I meant was that I don't do anything special with my caves, be they rocks,
pots, coconut shells, etc. I will say one thing, however. Kribs are great diggers
so make sure the roofs of the caves are cannot fall on the digging fish. This is
how I lost my Pv. callipterus (Moliwe) way back in 1979 when you couldn't find
replacements anywhere. The male dug the supports out from under a rock slab and
crushed himself.
