Breeding caves

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
PVC sounds like a great idea... How about bamboo? Anyone tried it yet? I asked my bro to send me some green ones with big enough holes for two Pleco. Is there any harm using a green bamboo?

GOod luck on your breeding. BN are easy to breed.

You can buy bamboo in most craft stores or garden centers. Just make sure it's not treated. They are good fir caves as well. Inwould only use dried dead bamboo not fresh.
