I am think of putting a cave network under the sand of my new 29 gallon using some PVC for my YoYo Loaches. Would 1.5" PVC be large enough? I have not been able to find sizing information on their diameter.
Each cave is going to be a 3" piece of with cap then a reducer to a Z connector with an 3 " above ground 1.5" pipe. I made the top of the cave see through by cutting a hole in the 3" piece of piping and gluing a sheet of tinted acrylic over the hole so I can spy on them in their "dens". Essentially make a buried under ground cave. Would a 1.5" pipe allow one directional movement (entering and exiting)? Would a 3" piece of pipe work to allow them to turn around? Originally started building these with Kuhlis in mind but now have yoyo loaches planned. There is gonna be 3 of them, 1 for each.
