77 G enough for 10 Zebras?

[Rudy]

Hi Everyone
I'm just wondering if a 77G ( 47"L x 15"W x 24"H) would be enough to house 10 fully grown adult Zebras. Keep in mind that there will be 5 bell caves and a fair amount of slate for cover. My are still fry but I'm looking to the future.

I would say that that size tank is plenty big enough for 10 full grown (which won't happen for quite a while, mind you !) zebras. You don't want the tank too big, as they don't scavenge far for food. I have 10 sub adults in a 40 gal breeder, and they seem to be doing fine, having been in there for close to 3 years. I would suggest adding more caves than the 5 you stated. I have a cave for each fish. And are you talking about Boester bells ? I have 1 of those in my zebra tank, but they are rather large for zebras, so I use a few other sizes and let the fish choose. Good luck.
