Chris Edwards

METHOD: Hand Building

My name is Chris Edwards and I hand build Pleco Breeding Caves in various shapes, sizes and clay bodies. Pleco is short for Plecostomus and is basically a South American sucking catfish, of which a very high percentage breed in caves. I have kept and bred them for a number of years.
