climbing wall??

Post by ciaraalston » Sat Apr 28, 2018 4:09 am

I love the coconut fiber climbing wall for the back of the tank, where do yall get the material? I've looked on amazon but it's HUGE amounts, just need enough to cover a 20g long

I believe there is only a size for a 10 gallon, but you can get two and cut them to fit.
Other options would be to use fishing net, or plastic plants :)

Why not get it in the huge amounts, when they ruin it you just get some more and cut to size (rinse and repeat). Always good to have backups

Just make sure it is safe, the kind made for flowers often use glue. The kind made for reptiles are either steam formed or made with a safe latex.
