Do apisto eggs stick to pvc?

[Taylor's Apistos]

hello all, this is my first post, and a very important one to my tank planning. I want to make a spray foam 3d background with pvc pipes for caves, swim-through tunnels, and use pvc to conceal my heater and hob filter intake. My question is, do apisto eggs stick to pvc? Or only to more porous materials such as clay pots. I purchased some clay pots, but the only ones I saw were over 4 inches in diameter, a little large for the 40g tank I want to redesign. Any input, or advice would be much appreciated.

I've had apistos lay eggs on the glass sides of tanks as well as in PVC pipe. If they stick to glass, I wouldn't be concerned about PVC.

Awesome. Thank you very much for the reply. I have since found smaller clay pots at the local craft store. Thinking about using those as caves in the background. Maybe also as planters in the foam background.

It depends what kind of look you're going for but mine have layed on bogwood, stones, coconut husk, plastic juwel filter casing, amazon sword leaves and oak leaf litter

My A. agassizi female has just layed on the underside of the plastic Juwel filter case.

I have used pvc for years. I use 1 1/4 inc thinwall in three inch lengths
