I personally dont hink you have too much plants !! I have a 45 gal tank that i have been kind of tring to get my zebras to breed ...but nothing!!! So i purchased a HUGE amazon sword plant at the LFS that was selling for cheap! It was so nice but too big for my tank! I threw it in the 45 gal zebra tank laying down still in the pot and a week later both male and female were in the cave for the first time!!!
The tank looks so bad but i guess it didnt bother them! So my answer IMO is no you r plants are just fine!

The same occured to me. Less height, just high enough so he can raise his dorsal fin fully would be about right I think.

Is it better to make new caves or it's ok to use these. My zebra is about 2.5 inches. Also from what you see do you think it's a male or female. Normally it doesn't spend much time in the caves mostly on the driftwood.

Nice start! What's the dish for; is that his food bowl?
Is there a canister filter in there? How big is this tank?
Just a couple of suggestions-
* Organize the tank a little better, give them as much space as possible. Thus try keep the driftwood eith verticle or more to the sides.
* Slope the substrate; highest being towards the rear and lowest being towards the front. That gives the tank a sense of depth.
Nice plant selection!
