ok, so while I'm not actively trying to get my cockatoo cichlids to breed (i just learned about the nitrogen cycle last week) but it looks like it might be imminent. I need to get my fish a room so they can do whatever kinky things fish do when we're not looking.
My tank doesn't have a cave per'se and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I want to keep a natural look to the tank so a clay pot won't work. I was thinking of getting a small plastic bowl (like for cereal) and cut a proper hole in it for the entrance. Then I was going to somehow glue matching substrate to the outside of it, so when i put it in the tank, it'll look like a cave in the gravel.
it's the somehow that has me stumped. I don't know what I should use. I guess I could use some silicone or something.. someone mentioned cement. I made a weird face :? when he said cement, but he said he had done it before and didn't have a problem.
any suggestions?[/i]
