Default Slate tiles for making pleco caves

Hi all,

First off, apologies for I am not sure where is the appropriate section to post this.

I am looking to buy some slate tiles to make pleco caves for my plecos.
I tried looking through LFS but many of them only have small pieces and not a large slab (which I would need so that I can cut to my required size).

Any idea where I can actually get bigger pieces of slate slabs? best if they have cutting services available too =p

Thanks!

Square type? Go tiles shop and get terracotta and ask whether they cut to the size for you. Then join the 5 pieces together with silicon or aquarium safe glue. Imo, not much effect in breeding, german triangle cave from c328 auntie still the best I have used so far

Trying out different caves and see how it goes
know of any shop?
I am super green when it comes to this tiles shop and I am not even sure whether they sell a few pieces just to individuals...
