Hello! I'm getting back into the swing of things and just set up a 4 tank system! It took me a loooong time to get this thing up and operational. Now I'm almost done with the cycling and need to get some caves in there.

What is a good place to find some L046 caves? I purchased some clay with rounded back caves from Germany years ago but can't find where I got them from. They were VERY nice but expensive! I'm in the USA but don't mind ordering from far away if it's worth it and they'll ship to me.

There are several good sellers:

One is here http://www.southcentralcichlids.com/ their site is being redone, but you can contact them via email. If you email Nancy at sccichlids@aol.com tell her I sent you. They sell at many of the weekend fish events sponsored by clubs as well as online.

Another is here http://plecocaves.com/ if you decide to order there, tell Brantley I sent you. I have never seen them at live events.

I have caves made by both sources. They are not limited to plecos caves, both offer an assortment of caves for all sorts of fish which use them.

Finally, you can always try sellers on http://www.aquabid.com/ Look in both the sections for Breeding Supplies and for Decorations.

Which of the ones on plecocaves.com would you recommend for Zebras? I know they are one of the smaller species, but how tall should the cave be? Can't say I've ever stood by and measured a zebra pleco's dorsal fin (and I'm HORRIBLE with eyeballing measurements anyway).
