Hides for Polypterus?

[ViolentJ]

What do you guys use for good sized hides? My polypterus are getting too big for their makeshift stone caves.

I have:

1x Ornatipinnis
1x Senegalus
2x Delhezi

keeping them in a bare bottom tank is better for me

Driftwoods

So you don't bother with any hides at all? I was under the belief that you needed lots of hides to avoid aggression.

I use large pieces of driftwood.

water pipes?

They don't really need a cave to call home like cichlids. Just some driftwoods and practically anything can be used to make hides. As long as it breaks up the tank so that territories can be made

no, and there are plenty of examples in this forum and other webs if you look through them.
