Adding photo of it in the actual aqaurium. I do have a bit of trouble with some larger fish tossing around gravel, so I have had to empty it out and put it back in once already because one of the entrances got blocked and was a bit worried a fish would be inside and get stuck if other side got blocked too haha. I put the lips of the tunnel a bit higher so gravel less likely to fall inside so will see how it goes, but already have seen several fish use it, especially my albino plecos.

Printed pretty easily, scaled it up to like 120% to make it fit the build plate and be a bit bigger for my cories. I feel it is still a bit narrow, so may print again and make it wider depth-wise. Putting it in aquarium now to see if cories and loaches will make use of it.

Not installed yet as need more gravel to bury it but easy print

this looks amazing! how do you think it would do if you also put a hideaway rock on top to conceal the hole a bit more? would your fish find the long cave entrance you think?

@CYMotorsport_548612 I actually have an above ground shrimp cave on one side of it. They use the other side to get into the cave. I'd say go for it! My loaches drag sand into it, but they still use it.

@MortalWombat Thanks for posting the make! Looks great in your tank

I was just considering making a longer version myself then noticed the remix. Looks awesome hope the fish and shrimp enjoy it.
