Two, one for each male.

I'd put one in instead. I used to have the equivalent number of caves per males in my tank and found they were never really used. Reducing the number caused them to instill some heirarchy in the tank and so only the strongest males get to use the caves now, and now they're always being used...which I think may be one of the factors in coaxing them to spawn.
