[ARRIVED 10-APR-2026] Ceramic Shrimp & Corydoras Cave (Large) – Breeding & Shelter Hide

Description

Ceramic Shrimp & Corydoras Cave (Large) – Breeding & Shelter Hide

Multi-tube ceramic shelter for shrimp, corydoras, and other bottom-dwelling fish

Quick Facts

  • Material: Ceramic
  • Size: Large
  • Use: Shelter / breeding / hiding
  • Suitable for: Shrimp, Corydoras, small bottom-dwellers
  • Placement: Bottom of aquarium
  • Plant safe: Yes

Is this for you?

✔️ Good if:

  • You keep shrimp or bottom-dwelling fish
  • You want more hiding space in the tank
  • You are breeding shrimp or shy livestock
  • You want functional hardscape, not just decoration

❌ Avoid if:

  • You only want a decorative ornament
  • Your tank has no livestock that use shelter
  • You expect it to replace proper tank setup
  • You keep large aggressive fish that may dominate the space

Why this product?

This ceramic cave provides multiple enclosed spaces for shrimp and small fish to hide, rest, and feel secure.

It is especially useful in shrimp tanks, breeding setups, and community aquariums where shy livestock benefit from added shelter and structure.

Common mistakes

  • Using it as decoration only instead of placing it where livestock will actually use it
  • Not providing enough shelter for the number of shrimp or fish in the tank
  • Placing it in overly exposed areas with no surrounding cover
  • Expecting livestock to use it immediately
  • Ignoring compatibility with aggressive tank mates

Use made simple

  • Place on substrate in a calm area of the tank
  • Combine with plants, moss, or wood for a more natural feel
  • Use as added shelter for shrimp, corydoras, or shy fish
  • Rinse before use
  • Add more than one if you have a heavily stocked setup

Pair with

  • Java moss or other mosses
  • Shrimp food / biofilm support
  • Driftwood and natural hardscape
  • Other hiding structures for full tank coverage
NTA Insight:
This is not just decor. Proper hiding structure reduces stress, improves confidence, and can improve survival rates for shrimp and other shy livestock.

    Live Arrival & Ordering FAQ

    Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?

    Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

    In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.

    Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.

    Can you ship to all states in Australia?

    No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.

    What should I check before ordering?

    Before placing an order, make sure:

    • Your tank is fully cycled and stable
    • Your aquarium has enough space for the species
    • Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
    • Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
    • You are not adding too many fish at once
    What should I expect when my fish arrives?

    It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.

    This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.

    How long does it take for fish to settle in?

    Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.

    Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?

    No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.

    If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.

    Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?

    In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.

    • Uncycled or unstable tanks
    • Poor water parameters
    • Overstocking
    • Unsuitable tank mates
    What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?

    Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.

    If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.

    Not sure if this fish is right for your setup?

    If you are unsure whether this species suits your setup, contact us before ordering and we’ll help point you in the right direction.
