Got some photos when they were sleeping..the diameter of the pipe is almost 5 inches.The largest is at 11 inches, had lots of internal parasite problems and went through it..and the other two is at 8 inches.

ckk125,

excellent pics! Thank the gods that loaches are generally peaceful .. I always wonder what would happen if one loach would go crazy in a pipe like that and extended its spines .. this could become really messy.

ckk125- great pics again. Your pipe pics inspired me to get 20ft of pvc pipe so that I could have alot more caves for my clowns.

Pipe makes them so happy,if anybody does this round and sand the edges as it is very dangerous if left rough. I actually use three 4" PVC on a 6' tank and put slate on that then my piles of rocks so as to have absolute minimal bottom contact . You may also buy PVC fittings that work well also.

Great shots Chen

Good pictures.
I use a XL bambootube for my clowns and it is their favorite hidingplace (my Panaque love it as well so it disappears over time

)
