Ancistrus are not particularly picky although some may show preference.

I would get some of each style and let your fish decide. By the way, I have bought caves from David (holeyrocks...) and he does a great job. Good luck.

I wonder if you can see these pics?
I make and sell breeding-caves here in Norway. For Anc sp. / Anc. sp. Super Red / L144 and other species with similar size, I make rectangular caves with 2 x 3.5 or 2x 3.0 cm opening. The length inside is about 12cm...
The top and bottom plates are longer than the sides, so the male may lay outside the opening and still be protected from above....

I ordered the square style caves but the seller wont be making any till next weekend so i should have them the following week. Im gonna take 3 and put them in with some gold marble ancistrus and the other 2 with my l204 flash plecos. I hope they both spawn but if not im still happy with just having them.
