Hello All,

Wanting feedback and stats on - In which type of cave did you L333 spawn.
IE Slate square, Round clay, Square clay, round wood etc. Basically wish to know type of cave and if half, square or full circle caves

Mine have spawned in round bamboo.

Just wanting to know if they prefer half rounded caves or full rounded square caves ?

Please advise
cheers jk :thumbup:

My L333's bred in a terracotta round clay cave. Unsure on the size, but bought on ebay. I also have slate square caves, that they use a lot, but never bred in them, only the round clay ones.

Will see, if I can find any old photos of him on the eggs.

I think all the people I know who spawn them use the round clay/terra-cotta caves you can buy off the Internet like stated above.

Personay I don't keep them but can pass on what I see being used :)

Mine breed in Round clay,half circle, slate :woohoo:
However I felt that they like round clay (medium size) like Aussie made one.
Small hole at the end make it easy to drain fry out. so i drill small whole on top end of every single cave. (I also like BreamLegend slate cave which open up the cover)

square slate caves for me... ask breamlegend for bigjohnnofish's special removable lid caves....

nearly everything spawns in them.... have other types too but they seem to prefer the square slate ones.... got 3 broods of 333 fry growing up... one batch of wrigglers in the cave and another lot of eggs in another cave...
i think they are working... :thumbup:
