What are some ideas that I can usein making a cave for a 9" pleco?
I've currently got burrito caves, pvc and driftwood caves for my smaller plecos and clown loaches. What are some other options I can use for my 9" pleco? Don't really want larger pvc's as the look too artificial.
Thinking of gluing some larger pieces of slate together, but we're can I find a good selection of bigger slates??

How about cut up bamboo

there is a guy here the island that uses slate tiles to make the caves, the tiles come 12 inches, co, some cutting, and some silicone, voila

If you are mobile look for some layered rocks that you split off some flat pieces.
with a hammer and a bit of work you may be able to stack/pile them to create caves.

I've also had good luck with bamboo tubes/sections.

I also made my own by rolling PVC pipe covered with a layer of silicone/aquarium safe, in gravel pebbles or sand.
allow 48 hours for off gassing drying.

wince wash well, I like to leave it is some of my water change - used to help with beneficial bacteria
