AUG6701 15-Pack Cichlid Stone

This product is worth the money because of the quality. These stones look real to begin with. After they have been in an aquarium and have had time for algae and bio-film grow on them it is hard to tell they are man-made. They are basically like getting all the benefits of something natural and more. The ceramic gives a natural feel and has a good texture. I have had some for years, and they still look great. The only part of them that doesn't look real are the edges around the holes in them. However, it is very easy to arrange them in a way that hides those areas well while still allowing access for the fish. Since they are hollow, they don't displace water like a natural stone would. They provide excellent caves and hiding spots for cichlids and many other types of fish. This is a good product.

I purchased 1 set of these and within a week, I purchased 2 more sets. Fish absolutely adore these condos. Literally just drop it into the tank. The really cool thing that I wasn’t aware of are the shapes. They are designed to be constructed high or whichever direction you prefer. They interlock and can be rotated to desired design. A lot of thought went into the making of these and that never occurred to me until I actually had a few in my hands. Customer service is top notch. These will work with basically any fish, however if you plan on keeping African cichlids, apistogramma, kribensis, corydoras, livebearers, loaches, plecos, and shrimp love the little ones. Great job and very cool product.

Seriously, there's nothing not to like about the Cichlid Stones/Caves - and I'm kinda surprised at the negative reviews - I've no idea what people expect. As a 25 year aquarist specializing in freshwater, South American genii, these resin rocks are pretty much perfect for decor and provide your fish with all the nooks, crannies and caves they could desire to explore. Providing shelter for your more passive tankmates is important too and the hidey-holes these caves provide are perfect. Build a wall feature, scatter them about or stack them haphazardly - whatever you choose, they're going to look great. At this price, the big box is a steal - although unless you have a bare 100 gallon tank, you're not likely to need them all. Oh and delivered in 48 hours.. blinding service from the manufacturer!!

This 15 pack wasn't quite what I was expecting, but it did the job & helped give my tank the final result I was looking for. At least 5 of the stones were pretty small in size. If you're looking to use all them for caves for your fish, some of the stones don't quite match up, so I was forced to spread them out instead of building a formation up. The cave holes vary in size. The Cichlids Stones were placed in a 125 gallon tank with 2 other types of rocks I had on hand and it came out very nice. I plan on setting up another Cichlid Tank in the future and will be buying some more Cichlid Stones. They look nice in the tank and stay at the bottom. A couple of the fish like the caves. I used the smaller stones in the foreground of the tank. I recommend the "15 Pack Cichlid Stones" to anyone that is looking to replace those heavy real rocks. They look nice and serve the purpose.

Well crafted, well packaged. I'm going to try breeding Venustus and I wanted to add lots of hiding places. I felt like this was a home run for a 75G.

I love this product. I took pics of the packaging but i don't think this product lets me upload them to it. They arrived in a box with their own bubble wrap and individual boxes inside. All 15 were in perfect shape. I soaked them in treated water before putting them in the tank since they felt a little gritty. My fish LOVE these. With all the different sizes, there's a home special for each Cichlid. Now I am excited to get more fish. My 36gal bowfront is gorgeous with these and I probably could get another set of 15. They're brighter than the previous decor and nicely brighten my tank. The moon-glow feature on my light makes these look really cool. I always sprinkle gravel over the rocks to make them look like they've been there for a long time. I did that with these too and they look awesome!

It is a highly recommended product, the stones look more real when they are in the water, it is worth every penny.

These arrived within the estimated delivery. Although they were packaged well with plenty of cushion, there was one large cave that had quite a large crack. I wasn't too concerned in returning since it was not chipped or falling apart. so, i sealed it up with aquarium safe silicon and it is holding up well. By the picture these rocks should have been multiple colors. They definitely are not. I received a 15 pack of cichlid stones that ARE GREY/BROWN combo. Which was disappointing since it is for my kids' aquarium in their room. If you are looking for some nice earthy tone caves these are great. otherwise, keep looking.
