There is one individual (the dominant male I'm assuming) that has taken up residence in the smallest cave in the whole tank on the left side. He fits in the tank but can't turn around I don't think. There is another zebra (sub dominant male probably) that spends time under a slate "lean-to" on the same side of the tank as the dominant male. The other 8 spend all their time under the driftwood in the middle. My concerns are as follows:
-If a female does want to breed, I'm afraid the chosen cave is too small. Should I remove it, thus forcing the male to choose a larger cave?
-Can any of you think of a reason why none of the other zebras are taking up a cave??? I've got 10 caves in there and none of them except for the smallest one is being utilized...so much work on the caves but no appreciation

-I've read that zebras usually hang out together somewhat, but is there any reason that none of them appear to use the right side of the tank that I should be thinking about??? (Like flow, or cave setup?)
I feed them at night and turn off the power head and biowheel until I wake up in the morning. There is plenty of feces and the food is usually completely gone so I know they're eating well (Ken's fish sticks right now). I'm open to all suggestions (like maybe I should move the top caves to ground level?...or maybe some of the caves should face toward the back or sides of the tank rather than all facing toward the front??). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure my zebras are as happy as can be and wanted some tips from the pros. Thanks in advance
