easy enough to make yourself with some slate tiles and a diamond coated disc cutter/saw if you fancied making some yourself.

or for BN's, half a coconut shell with a hole cut in it would do

anything with a hole in it will do...... err ummm that sounds a little crude...

if you have some wood in the tank drill a hole in it... width of the males body plus the width of one pec fin will be suffient.... and the length or depth of your cave is the length of the male plus a couple cm.... deeper if you want doesnt matter all that much with b/n

an upturned terracotta flower pot with entrance cut in it is easy to make, BNs are not as fussy as many plecs as long as they have some secure shelter.
