It tucks flush into the 90-degree back corner of your tank, saving swim space while giving your largest fish a proper retreat. UK 3D-printed in aquarium-safe PETG.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a wide-entrance corner cave?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost aquarium caves are designed for small fish. The opening is too narrow for an adult pleco's body, an oscar's head, or a fully-grown bristlenose — so the cave goes unused and your big fish hide behind filters or rest against the heater instead. This cave solves that. The opening is sized for fish up to roughly 18cm body width, while the corner-fit shape keeps the tank's swim area open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra-wide entrance — fits adult plecos, cichlids, clown loaches, oscars and large community fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner-fit design — sits flush to the back corner, preserves swim space\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide, low-profile silhouette — won't dominate the front view\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth rounded interior — safe for delicate fins and shrimp moults\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be buried in substrate or sit visibly above gravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3D-printed in the UK from aquarium-safe PETG plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEncourages natural cave-spawning behaviour (apistos, plecos, kribensis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aquarium-safe PETG plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130 × 130 × 70 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180 × 180 × 75 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90-degree back corner of tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wide and low (vs our tall mangrove corner cave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, White, Marble Effect, Moss Green, Sand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blubber Cove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSuitable species\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdult bristlenose plecos, common plecos, sailfin plecos\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCichlids — apistogramma, kribensis, electric blue acara, dwarf cichlids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClown loaches, yoyo loaches, weather loaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarger community fish — angelfish, oscars (juvenile), severums\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlso works for corydoras, kuhli loaches and shrimp colonies in shared tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard (130 × 130 × 70 mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e tanks 40–100 litres, juvenile plecos, shrimp colonies, smaller cichlids\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge (180 × 180 × 75 mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e tanks 100–300 litres, adult plecos, larger cichlids, community setups with big fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is this different from your other Blubber Cove caves?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe make several cave shapes — pick the one that suits your fish and aquascape:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge corner cave (this one):\u003c\/strong\u003e wide low-profile corner with an extra-large entrance for big-bodied fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTall mangrove corner cave:\u003c\/strong\u003e same corner placement but taller with mangrove-style pillars and a smaller entrance — for vertical scape interest\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePleco cave tunnel:\u003c\/strong\u003e long low-profile foreground tunnel with two openings, sits at the front or buries under substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAquarium cave hideaway:\u003c\/strong\u003e rounded mid-tank dome for general species cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow wide is the entrance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for fish up to roughly 18cm body width on the Large size. Adult bristlenose plecos, common plecos and most medium cichlids fit comfortably. If you have particularly large oscars or red-tail catfish, measure your fish first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be buried in substrate or used above ground?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth. It's designed to hug the substrate line — bury the base for a natural cave look, or sit it on gravel for a more visible feature. Either way, the corner fit means it stays put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe for shrimp and delicate fins?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every surface is smooth and snag-free. PETG is shrimp-safe (no copper, no leaching) and food-grade — won't release chemicals into your water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill plecos actually use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlecos almost always claim a cave within 24-48 hours, and the wide entrance is the difference between a cave they ignore and a cave they live in. Place it in a quieter section of the tank away from strong filter flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it work as a cichlid breeding cave?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the enclosed corner shape and wide entrance suit cave-spawners like apistogramma, kribensis and bristlenose plecos. The textured interior gives eggs somewhere to attach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich corner cave should I pick — this one or the tall mangrove?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick this Large Corner Cave if you have big-bodied fish that need a wide entrance, or if you want a low-profile look that doesn't dominate the tank. Pick the Tall Mangrove Corner Cave if you want vertical scape interest and your fish are smaller (shrimp, corydoras, kuhli loach, smaller plecos).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy from Blubber Cove\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery cave is 3D-printed to order in our UK workshop in aquarium-safe PETG.
