JBL Ceramic Spawning Cave
For fish who love caves, the ceramic spawning cave, made from neutral fired clay, provides cave breeder fish with a hideout for storing their eggs or as a hiding place outside their breeding season. The cave is suitable for freshwater aquariums and is mostly used by cave breeders, such as long-whiskered cat fish and purple cichlids. Its neutral design helps it blend into any aquarium.

Hannah Cameron –
The cave fits well in my 20-gallon tank and my long-whiskered catfish use it regularly to hide and lay eggs. It looks natural and doesn’t stand out. Easy to place and no issues with water quality.
David Howard –
I added this to my purple cichlid tank and they seem more relaxed. The ceramic texture is smooth and it holds up well under daily tank conditions. A good addition for breeding setups.
Jessica Short –
It blends perfectly with the background rocks. My fish have started using it as a nesting spot. No cracks or wear after two months. Highly recommend for cave breeders.
