What are some good things i can put in my tanks as homes for my apisto bitaeniata. I want to make sure they have a place to hide until they can settle in and also for when they get scared. I have heard the clay pot idea but i was looking for something i could find around the house. I have some pvc but they dont have ends so i dont think they will like it unless i where to rescape and put the pvc in the sand. What do you guys use as homes for ur apistos. Thanks in advance for the help.

coconut shell hlves, small terracota pots

basically anything that they can squeeze into will be used, then either grow something on it or choose things that you think fit in aesthetically
small pvc pie does work ok

I like the ideas of different ways to make them homes. They seem to get along well and they spend most of thier time out in the open. I will still look for some homes for them. Thanks.
