Hi guys....
What is the optimal number of caves to 19 zebs in a tank?
A tank with 100 x 45 x 45 cm would behave the 19 zebs ?
or it would be best to select the 19 zebs in two tanks?
Thanks
Luciano

I think 19 adult zebras is pushing things in that size tank, If you want to keep them all together get a bigger tank.
Caves serve multiple purposes in a colony. The are used for overnighting, hiding as well as defending and spawning. I like to have more caves than male fish for this reason.

What makes the common person uncommon is common sense.

I've got a cave per fish plus one in my tank (I have 2 males and 4 females). All at different angles so they can have a nice choice - good job too, I've just been upstairs and looked in the tank and they are all having a cave evening this evening......well all bar one. I can honestly say I've never seen them do that before!!
Thanks TTA / Chris and Grubby.
I decided that I will put the zebs in two tanks...this way, I put a cave for each zebra and still have enough space for them hiding and swim too.
i will be in doubt to choose which zebs go in each tank... , mainly because I think I have a lot more males than females
Thanks... best regards
