Housing For Apisto's

[RossW]

I am going to be adding some Apisto's to my 75g and was wondering what do people do for housing in their tanks.

Does everyone use the standard 2"-3" upside flower pots with a cut?  Do you tend to put use a flower pot base for the bottom too?

Thanx,
Ross

Those work, as do coconut halves.

A well planted tank with driftwood also works well; the apistos will dig out their own caves under driftwood or make territories in thick areas of plants.

Yeap, pretty much anything that makes up a cave works: driftwood, coconut, stacked slade, pile of big rocks ... the list is long and even flowerpots work - it just doesnt lock very natural. I also made some caves with clay (properly backed and so), they love them.    They prefer small cave openings, the smaller the better. They will open and close the caves themselve (provided the gravel is fine enough)
