About This Species

The new Crispy Caves from GlasGarten are edible tubes / caves and thus food and hiding place in one...

The edible Crispy Caves contain essential natural fiber while enhancing the development of a biofilm on their surface. In particular for animals that like to graze on surfaces, such as shrimp, snails and catfish, fiber is an important part of their diet and is needed for digestion.

The Crispy Caves consist largely of wood fibers (cellulose), clay and leaves, which are usually found in the natural habitats of the animals and are ingested in large numbers. Nutrients such as algae and bacteria are eaten with such fibers, which settle as a biofilm on surfaces and form the basis of nutrition. Crispy Caves are therefore the perfect addition to regular feeding with staple food, they remain dimensionally stable in the water and the nutrients have to be actively grated off with the roughage, which corresponds to the animals' natural eating behavior. Smaller animals can enter the cave and eat in peace from the inside of the cave wall.

The edible caves / tubes Crispy Caves are perfect suitable for...
• Shrimp
• Sucker Catfish
• Snails
• Crayfish
• Crabs

With the recommended feeding amount (see below), the GlasGarten Crispy Caves do not pollute the water and can remain in the aquarium until they have been completely eaten.
Visually, they resemble wood or bark and thus offer a very natural decoration in the aquarium or the paludarium. Also recommended as holiday or vacation food.

The edible caves Crispy Caves consist of 100% natural ingredients

These caves are so funny and the shrimp seem to enjoy them, they haven’t been home long so they are getting used to the new environment but I think they will come to love these a lot more

They’re super cool

They’re super cool. They hold up. But they did seep and turn my water brown with tannins. My snails seem to really like it.

Small for price. Thought they would last longer than they did.

The shrimp like it

The shrimp like it. The only thing I don't like is that they can't be left too long in aquarium, so that means 4 or 5 days. There are only 4 in the package.
