Description
Rio Xingu crevice cave for crevice catfish
The natural habitat of several inhabitants of the Rio Xingu consists of a distinct rocky landscape, stones form crevices with each other, sandstone-like formations with small and larger pebbles form numerous hiding places.
We were very lucky to be able to obtain such a piece. In a complex process, it was recorded with a 3D scanner, a 3D model was printed from the data and this in turn was used to produce a plaster mould. This now serves as a tool for us to create crevice caves for you and your catfish that are very close to the original, a natural cave like in the Rio Xingu, the original habitat of many of the L-catfish we keep.
Different sized or small animals also require different cave sizes, which is why we offer you different sized Xingu crevices.
The small version is ideal for flat-built catfish such as Pseudolithoxus and Lasiancistrus. The medium version is ideal for somewhat larger animals such as L082, L168 or Ancistrus ranunculus L034.
Another larger version is still in the works.
