These Cichlid stones are made of ceramic.They are durable and will remain unchanged for hundreds if not thousands of years. Some people love the algae to grow on them as it grows on everything in an aquarium. If you want to clean the algae off them you need only to take the stone or other ornament you need only to remove it from the aquarium and scrub it with come salt, rinse it off and return it. You do not need to wash the inside of the stones; any bacteria that is on the interior surface is good for the aquarium and should be left there. It helps with keeping the water healthy for the fish.
The stones can be stacked, piled, and turned any which way to create a lightweight rockscape which becomes an excellent habitat enhancement for fish. The complex environment of nooks, crevices and caves will reduce stress and promote harmony, and soon you will likely be seeing more interesting natural behaviors from your pets! A small distance between holes is suggested so that the fish that chose a stone for their home will not feel crowded with their neighbors.

I got these quickly and without a scratch, I would recommend though to rinse them off. They are either dusty or the excess coloring stuff is coming off, just rinse them off and they should be good.
Absolutely a tank must have if you have cichlids!!! They love the caves and there is a lot of room for breeding
Firstly, let me start off by stating that they do look beautiful in the tank. Shipping is always fast and they were packaged well. They are easy to stack in many ways and my fish love them. I have a 40 gallon breeder tank with three female convict cichlids. They range in size from just an inch to two inches in length and varying degrees of height. Having said that they couldn't fit in most of the smaller (over half of the rocks) and I had to modify them all. I didn't see a point in returning them as I'm good with tools. I simply took my corded drill with a hard sanding bit, used a little water (to keep the dust down) and bored the holes out that needed it. Now they can fit and actually use all of them. One was broken but I just sanded the crack down. I didn't mind this so much as all of the holes are a little too uniform and this allowed me to customize the aesthetic. Due to the small holes I wouldn't recommend these to cichlid owners unless they only have juveniles that don't get taller than an inch. Most cichlids do.
Really cool ceramic fish hides, I did get the order delivered the next day after placing it and I had 2 of the caves arrive broken. I called customer service and they replaced my order that also came swiftly. This time it was placed in a smaller box and they all arrived safe. I barley did any cleaning as they were fairly clean and just yesterday I placed them all in my 55 gallon tank. Definitely a beautiful addition when added with plants.
Perfect packing! Not a nick or break in any of them!
I ordered these Underwater Galleries Assorted Cichlid caves to place in my 55 gallon Yellow Lab species specific aquarium. Chewy had the best price on the internet! Ordering was simple and I received it days before the estimated time of arrival. I will definitely be ordering from Chewy again for all of my aquatic needs.
Larger than expected! Very happy cichlids! Fast delivery with nothing broken or missing.
One came in shattered but other than that it they look good.
I had two orders delivered to me damaged(which were replaced) and the best customer service I got was from Debbie. She made sure my third order was delivered in perfect condition. She was also friendly and actually held up conversation with me while fixing the issue. I love the way it looks in our tank.
I am so pleased with these caves! They are far superior to what you will find at the local pet store. I waited a long time before buying them because of the price. But they are a better value than what I've bought previously and look and feel far more natural.
