you can cover the pvc in pebbles with silicone for a more natural look

Wouldn't long terra cotta pot vases work, if cut in half length wise?

[jm1212]

you could silicone a couple of flat rocks together to make a cave

These are standard and ideal size caves for zebra plecos. The internal sizes are approximately 3.2 cm wide, 2 cm high, 15 cm long, and the thickness of the slate is around 1 cm.

get slate cut slate and silicon it together.
