Natural cave like decoration

[Spooked42]

Hi everyone,

I'm changing some things around in my tank to go for a more realistic, and natural look. However, one of my fishes loves to hang out in this plastic barrel cave that I have, I don't want him to not have anything similar but I'm struggling to find natural caves I can add.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I have a few logs like this from petsmart that are hollow inside:

Otherwise maybe some bigger pvc pipe with rocks or dirt piled around/over it?

That looks really good actually, I'll take a look at those!

I make mine out of rocks. Just position them so there is an opening and place it against the glass so there is only one exit

I use terracotta pots on their side or split in half .
Not the most natural but me and the fish are ok with them ..

Coconut shell. Cut in half (or not), cut an opening (or put a hole).

I've seen some people use PVC pipe and cover them to give your betta a good shelter place, but still look natural in the aquarium! I've been thinking about doing that for my tank, cause I feel like some of the Petco/Petsmart decorations can take away from the natural look of tanks, especially in planted tanks. Post pics of whatever you decide!!
