The Importance of Submerged Shelter In a well-maintained pond, the water is often so clear that fish have nowhere to hide from the keen eyes of a heron. Instinctively, fish seek out "structure" to feel safe. The Log Look Fish Cave provides that necessary structure, allowing your fish to display more natural behaviors and remain healthy and active.
Installation Tip: For the most natural look, place the log cave near the edge of a plant shelf or at the bottom of the pond amongst other driftwood and rocks. You can also place aquatic plants around the openings to further soften the appearance and create a truly integrated "hidden" habitat.
Maintenance: The cave is designed for year-round use. During your routine pond maintenance or spring clean-out, simply rinse the cave with a garden hose or use a soft brush to remove any excessive algae buildup.
