Asked this in the Setup and Filtration forum, but thought you guys here might have more info. :)

I'm on the lookout for a nice hide or two for my shoal of clown loaches, some of which are upwards of 7" and growing. Does anyone know of a good hide similar to the one featured in the video I stumbled across below (the loach slips into it at the end)?

I'm emailing with Universal Rocks right now and they mentioned that I could get any of their Decorocks and cut a whole in the side for entry, so that's what I'm leaning toward now.
 
Buffalo,
Take a pottery class and make your own. That or go to the 2nd hand shop and get an old porcelain teapot and take a hammer and sandpaper (and probably a little glue) to it. A lot of people use PVC pipe sections- you can get it in colour, or you can smear it in silicone and roll it in sand.
Me personally? I use sections of bamboo. Works perfectly, looks great, conditions water and feeds the (short-lived) snails, RTshark and pleco.
