I am offering a set of 2 coconut caves. These caves give a natural look to the decor of your aquarium and quite easily blend into a planted tank. While each cave is slightly different they are all lovingly handmade by myself and my husband and all sharp edges are smoothed before shipment. Most all of the fish I have kept have enjoyed these caves. Plecos love to rasp as well as hide in them, some of the more reclusive cichlids also enjoy them both for hiding as well as breeding. Bettas and livebearers find these fun to play in, and snails just adore them.

Caves are made as they are ordered. Total cost for 2 caves including shipping to the USA is $10.00. Please email for shipping quote if you are elsewhere. You can post here, pm me or email me direct at magic_kite@hotmail.com.

Hi,

can you please tell me the size of the caves?
i'd like to have some sort of hiding place for my convicts in my 55G
and I live in melbourne, Australia
would shipping be a lot?


cheers,
Jimmy

Be aware that AQIS will pull these up at the boarder.

Well I've never had any problems shipping anything to Australia, however I have not ever shipped coconut caves over there. But I've not had any problems shipping them to Canada or the UK.

That being said, the cheapest shipping I can do is about $6.00 and that will take 4-6 weeks to get to you. Now, I can ship air mail which won't take as long but costs a bit more.

Each cave is different in size since coconuts are not an exact science, but a full grown male convict will have a tight squeeze getting in, but the females and juvies love them.

i think the convicts can't wait longer
the eggs are hatching :%)

are they aquarium safe? so mabey i might get one that can fit ghost shrimp...

They are aquarium safe, I've been using them in my tanks for several years now with no ill effects. Actually all my plecs love to rasp on them and I've fish breed in them fairly regularly.

Being a plant material I dont think it would get through Aust Customs They are very strict for good reason.

I am certain they will not get through our customs. I have a sheet of what is not allowable and the coconut halves would be in the plant matter category. Different countries have different laws so I think its the buyers responsibility to check up on those laws before purchasing.
