Yeah it is a bit hard to see in the picture but he has a big foot and a half long cave in the back where he can hide. My boy has always been a big cave dweller. We made sure that we left trails for him to swim also left him the top of the tank that is where he likes to swim around. its a 75 gallon. We put a lot of thought into this build. We are sending him over within the hour so wish us luck.Sweet, room around the back to swim? What size tank is it?
