RE: [GSAS-Member] Fish Breeding Caves



Use a hacksaw.  Go slow.  Buy several.

I also have used coconut shells (halved on a table saw) as apisto caves.

So, take a small clay flowerpot and hacksaw off a corner of the rim, then
seal it to the base forming a clay 'tee pee'. The fish will go in and out of

the hole you've made. I've spawned all kinds of cichlids - you can do big
ones and spawn lake tanganyika fish like julies and pretty much anything
brichardi/leleupi like.

usually much cheaper than Rino caves or whatever and as effective.  Plus
much easier to obtain, small clay flower pots are usually cheap (I could
make an adequate cave for less than $1).

Apistogrammas I am going to try and breed.
