These are amazing, over the top quality! Definetly worth the wait for them to print and eventually be shipped. The seller was very understanding when there was over a week of silence, and assured me that my order was still on process since it was print to order (and I had gambled with him and made a pretty large order). But once shipped, it arrived quickly to me in the US. Again, the quality is so good, it makes me wish I had ordered a custom piece for my paludarium. I plan on ordering from this store in the future. Hopefully I can add pictures once the paludarium build is complete.

Item doesn’t fit flush. Substrate falls through. Still waiting on seller to get back to me on delivery issue.

I tried to secure several different ways in my tank, but it kept filling with sand nothing on it is square. Nothing fit against the tank flush so Sam just kept coming in. I tried silicone. I tried underwater adhesive. It was a waste of money for me. I sent the owner. A message is their instructions. I never heard back. I took it out of my tank now I’m trying to get my water back to normal. I think I threw it away. I was still disgusted and mad and this thing was not cheap either.

I should have waited to review until my tank was all set up but I just can't wait. I will 1000% order again. The color is absolutely perfect and matches my river rock substrate perfectly and I believe it will blend in beautifully. The only challenge will be deciding which one to get next because the possibilities seems endless with how you could arrange these! It's often hard for me to find hides large enough for my freshwater crayfish but I am thrilled to have found this shop! Thank you so much for making it easy to order, great communication, good prices, packaged with care- I will be back for more!

Frequently Asked Questions

About the caves

No. Every piece is made from aquarium-safe PLA that is biodegradable, biosourced, and fully inert. It will not affect your pH, hardness, or any other water parameter. Safe for fish, shrimp and marine aquariums.
Yes. Our pieces are suitable for terrariums and reptile setups as well as aquariums. Check the individual product page for compatibility details, especially dimensions, if your animal fits through the entrance comfortably, you are good to go! The rest is design preference. Disclaimer: Do not put it directly near high heat (45°C+/113°F+)
The large openings are intentional, so most caves are easy to clean with a standard aquascaping tool kit. A magnetic cleaner and a soft brush or toothbrush are highly recommended for the surrounding glass. We use the Chihiros Mini on all of our cave tanks. A regular hose is used to clean debris inside the cave.
The first step is to check the dimensions on the individual product page, below "Add to cart". If your animal can comfortably fit through the entrance, you are good to go. Beyond that, the choice is mostly visual: most caves can work in most tanks. A smaller cave works well as a subtle detail or accent piece, while a larger one creates a stronger focal point in the scape. Do not overthink it, our caves are designed to blend naturally into the setup, regardless of the style of your tank. That is exactly what they are made to do.
