Bamboo shelter tubes

The bamboo tubes, or bamboo shelters are a great natural decoration for your aquarium and are perfect as a hiding place for shrimp or smaller crayfish and crabs.
Especially for moulting, the invertebrates like to retire to a quieter dark place, so as not to be disturbed by the other aquarium animals.

For decoration and maybe even a "cooler look", the bamboo tubes can also be used well, e.g. plant with moss. Just take some moss and a cotton twine or nylon twine (fishing line), drape the moss on the surface of the bamboo tube and wrap the whole with the yarn (like a little meatloaf ;o), so that the moss is firmly established. Over time, the moss grows on the surface of the bamboo tube and the cotton thread dissolves. From time to time take it out of the aquarium, cut the moss a bit and put it back in the aquarium ... done!

Our bamboo tubes / bamboo caves are available in the following versions

• as Half Tube
• as Tube (both sides are open)
• as Cave (one side open, one side closed)

Dimensions of the bamboo tubes / bamboo caves
Diameter: approx. 3 to 6 cm
Length: approx. 6 to 10 cm

Note
Initially, the tubes float, but in the course of time they become full of water and then sink to the ground.
As a makeshift you can possibly complain the bamboo tube with a stone in the first time.

Since it is a handcrafted natural product, the dimensions may vary a little bit.
