The aquarium is 110 liter and i have 3 adult in there.1 male and 2 females. The filter is eheim 2217 1000 l/h and temp at 29,5.3 slate caves and alot of hiding places in the slate.Do u think the setup is ok or should i do something else ?

a bit of bogwood would be good for them to rasp on. maybe some powerheads to create a bit more of a flow.

shouldnt 1000 l/h be enought for a 110 liters aquarium ?

I would try to space to caves a bit further apart, and create natural territories between them, as they are rather territorial like the Zebras, using the slate you already have in your tank. I would also mount a diffusor for dissolved oxygen.

The turnover sounds good enough

Ps. what does it say on the tank.... Scalare 5%?

It say koi scalare slöj! I had fries of angelfish there before

Ah, ok

moved around a little

Do you have a rock available? I would put a rock between cave nr 1 (from the left) and cave nr 2, in front of the bogwood, just to make a little divider to help them form a territory they can feel secure in. I can imagine cave nr1 will be the most popular

How do you feel about a diffusor?

a difffusor sounds fantastic! but i dont know if éheim have someone to 2217 ?

You should place the caves so the current hits the opening in a 45 degree angle.
That work for me.
I have written an article about breeding L-66 that will be issued in "Malbiten" the guardians of catfish magazin in the near future.

I can see you are Swedish so you can understand it.

It is also issued here:http://akvaforum.no/text.cfm?id=2010

Maybe you can use some of this info..

Goodluck with the breeding.

thanks!

Eheim 2217 has a hose that is 12/16 mm thick, which means this diffusor would fit: http://www.webzoo.net/site/maler/x/?cas ... 38&HKatID=
