Underwater Galleries AUG6701 15-Pack Cichlid Stone Aquarium Rock Caves

I purchased 1 set of these and within a week, I purchased 2 more sets. Fish absolutely adore these condos. Literally just drop it into the tank. The really cool thing that I wasn’t aware of are the shapes. They are designed to be constructed high or whichever direction you prefer. They interlock and can be rotated to desired design. A lot of thought went into the making of these and that never occurred to me until I actually had a few in my hands. Customer service is top notch. These will work with basically any fish, however if you plan on keeping African cichlids, apistogramma, kribensis, corydoras, livebearers, loaches, plecos, and shrimp love the little ones. Great job and very cool product.

This product is worth the money because of the quality. These stones look real to begin with. After they have been in an aquarium and have had time for algae and bio-film grow on them it is hard to tell they are man-made. They are basically like getting all the benefits of something natural and more. The ceramic gives a natural feel and has a good texture. I have had some for years, and they still look great. The only part of them that doesn't look real are the edges around the holes in them. However, it is very easy to arrange them in a way that hides those areas well while still allowing access for the fish. Since they are hollow, they don't displace water like a natural stone would. They provide excellent caves and hiding spots for cichlids and many other types of fish. This is a good product.

It is a highly recommended product, the stones look more real when they are in the water, it is worth every penny.

Would have preferred juts small and medium but as a wall they look good. Of course my pleco desires to live under them.

Seriously, there's nothing not to like about the Cichlid Stones/Caves - and I'm kinda surprised at the negative reviews - I've no idea what people expect. As a 25 year aquarist specializing in freshwater, South American genii, these resin rocks are pretty much perfect for decor and provide your fish with all the nooks, crannies and caves they could desire to explore. Providing shelter for your more passive tankmates is important too and the hidey-holes these caves provide are perfect. Build a wall feature, scatter them about or stack them haphazardly - whatever you choose, they're going to look great. At this price, the big box is a steal - although unless you have a bare 100 gallon tank, you're not likely to need them all. Oh and delivered in 48 hours.. blinding service from the manufacturer!!

I love this product. I took pics of the packaging but i don't think this product lets me upload them to it. They arrived in a box with their own bubble wrap and individual boxes inside. All 15 were in perfect shape. I soaked them in treated water before putting them in the tank since they felt a little gritty. My fish LOVE these. With all the different sizes, there's a home special for each Cichlid. Now I am excited to get more fish. My 36gal bowfront is gorgeous with these and I probably could get another set of 15. They're brighter than the previous decor and nicely brighten my tank. The moon-glow feature on my light makes these look really cool. I always sprinkle gravel over the rocks to make them look like they've been there for a long time. I did that with these too and they look awesome!

I could not nearly use all of the stones. There nice to bury for caves and hides. But they are not real natural looking so I half buried mine . But the fish will love them im sure . And that's what matters. A smaller set that was a little more affordable would be better imo.

If you are looking for a decoration for your cichlid tank go no further. They stack well just remember to get all the air out of them. When you put them in the tank fill with water then angle it around under the water to get all the air out. Otherwise they will float. They are a little light but put them together with a rock on top or adhesive it to multiple stones and you will have no trouble with them moving. I have these stones with pieces of slate laid over, to make a rock wall structure along the back wall of my tank. Looks great and the fish love them! If you have trouble with aggression in your tank, put an escape hole with either a glass or ceramic bit then sand it out. I use a dremel tool with a masonry grinding stone.
