need a fish that like to hide in caves/rocks/logs..any ideas

[Bubble_B0y]

i can only think of crayfish, pleco's, hillstream loaches.

anythink else??

My favorite cave-dwellers are knife fish. But many of them get quite large and don't work well in smaller community tanks.

Spiny eels, kuhli loaches, talking catfish....there are potentially tons one could list, but some are large and/or predatory....what sort of tank set-up do you want to put them into?

i will second that on the ghost knife. they are awsome fish to have. you can keep them in a smaller tank but they get up to 18" so you can only keep them for a while.but ya they are by far the coolest hiding fish. i have some pics in my gallery if u want to see em.

non-community or community.

i haven't decided

but i have a 10 gallon

Lol, you can have my channel cat. J/K. Make sure you don't pick a fish that's going to end up like 4 feet long (like I did). They're hard to find a new home for, plus they'll eat all your fish

Consider kuhli loaches, then...they stay nice and small.

khuli loaches hide lots when I had mine you'd see it one day and then see it again in a month or so if you are lucky. Mine dissapeared for a very very long time and when I was changing the filter Wal Ah there they were.

Cory's like caves but will be active as well. My clown shark loves hiding in caves and under driftwood.
