The side entrance cave is handmade in our own workshop in the Netherlands. All caves are made of ceramic, which is safe for humans, animals, and nature. They are available in 4 different sizes. Since these side entrance caves have both ends closed and the opening is on the side, fish eggs will stay inside the cave longer. As each side entrance cave is handmade, every item is unique. Our catfish caves are also perfect for use as breeding caves, where the opening is at the front and the back and sides are closed.
Aquarium
The caves are the ideal decoration for aquariums with an Amazonian or tropical forest look. Due to the realistic appearance of tree bark, they blend perfectly among real wood and our background walls.
Side entrance caves are also suitable as hiding places for loaches, catfish, crayfish, and other fish species.
You can also cover the side entrance caves with different types of plants and mosses, such as Java moss or Anubias. To do this, use aquarium glue or fishing line to attach the plant to the ceramic for the first few weeks. After that, the plant will grow onto the ornament.
The caves also function as a biological filter in the aquarium, as the ceramic structure is porous. Numerous bacteria settle in the micro-cavities, which remove harmful substances from the aquarium water through biological breakdown. Overall, a great product!
Terrarium
The caves are often used as shelters for reptiles and amphibians, such as frogs, lizards, bearded dragons, snakes, etc. Since they are made of ceramic, they can also be used perfectly as a moist or warm cave. The ceramic is porous and, therefore, retains heat and moisture well.
Sustainable Ceramic
Our ceramics are 100% safe for people, animals, and the environment. They have a long lifespan and are handmade from ceramic. Since the color is embedded in the clay, it never fades. This also makes them easy to clean. Cleaning is simple with a soft sponge and warm water. The decoration is made of ceramic, an environmentally friendly and well-known material. We do not use plastic or other slow-degrading materials. Additionally, ceramic decorations last a long time. In short, a sustainable product in every way!
