After receiving some requests I have decided to trial some spawning caves and pots for Apistos, Ancistrus, plecco and tangs. These are examples that I have made. They have not been fired yet, so colour will change. This is purely to gauge public interest in these items from which I will decide whether it is cost effective for me to produce them. I will be able to offer a few colour variations, textures and sizes. This is purely an EOI post at this stage.

I am also trialling some "fry nurseries". They will be available in small, medium and large, depending on interest. Note that these will be "off white" in colour after they are fired.

If you have a specific shape, size, requirement that you would like to see made, please PM me with specifics. I am not able to calculate prices at this time.

Andrea's work is absolutely tops guys. If you want nice little caves to breed your bristlenose in, then these are the ones. I'm getting 8 of them.

Top job Andrea. :thumb

My little caves arrived today, thanks Andrea.

They are beautifully made, and arrived safely thanks to your careful packaging.

You've done a wonderful job with them :P

Hi there, I really like your small fry nurseries, although, I wouldn't want off an white colour. Can you make these in any other colours - black, brown or red/brown colour? How small is small? Though I would like it small, I prefer the shape of the one you show behind the blue lighter.

I'm in Sydney - so how would postage be managed. I would assume that these could be brittle? What would the cost be for product & postage?

Very good concept - good on you.

Thanks for your interest. I can make one for you in terracotta clay if you like but there'll be a little wait I'm afraid as I am really backlogged with orders (especially the fry nursery medium size ones). At a guess it would only cost a few dollars to post...I won't know for sure till it's made, fired and I have a psotcode to work it out. Best guess $3-$4. The small ones are quite small and no two are the same. Best I can tell you at this stage I'm afraid :)

thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I think your products are great, but I don't think either off white or terracotta would suit my set-up. I'd like it to look like a natural rock cave, but thank you very much anyway.

Glad to to hear that your little business is going so well.

Thanks anyway :) I will be trying some glazes at a later date. Perhaps that will offer you the colour you are after.
