    Default Now making heavier cones

    I have only recently found out that some of my cones are getting knocked over while large discus are using them. Since none of my discus spawn, think I have all females, I haven't seen this happen. But I will now start making them a bit wider at base and a bit heavier too so they won't get knocked over easily. For those of you who have my cones and have gotten them knocked over, just silicone a rock inside the base of the cone for more weight. Make sure it is a safe rock and only use aquarium safe silicone of course. Prices for the heavier cones stay the same, a bit more in postage though. I try to use USPS flat rate boxes most of the time. Large orders must go FedEx. Thank you all!

    Bath tiles work really well too Barb, and you can even make a fashion statement if you like. Now I need to go searching for pricing info on your new cones.

    Prices stay the same, clay isn't too expensive so making the cones with a bit more is not going to change my prices. Thanks,

    Here are a few pics of some of the many cave designs I can make. I take special orders also for a certain length or width of cone. Just let me know if you see something you like. All these are long ago sold but I will be making a new batch of them soon. Thanks Peter,
    Barb

    Thanks Wilky! It is good to be back to my clay work after several months of arm healing.
