Plant Pot Cave

[jimmyringo]

I got a couple of Albino Corys yesterday and i want to make a small cave for them.My initial thought was to get a plant pot,on its side with half of it above the substrate.It would make a decent sized cave,but would it in any way damage the water quality?And which would be best ,plastic or terracotta?

either is fine. I have a small terracotta (unglazed) in my tank with pgymy cories.

terracotta is great, looks nice too when it get a bit of algae on it

terracotta is nicest, plastic ones tend to get a slimy film over them after just a few days in the water and look awful!

I was planning on terracotta,just wasn't sure how it might affect the water.Thanks again.
