I have house them in a 2x2x18 inc tank. No sub stracture. I have place 7 caves for them to house in but they are not using it. They are alway at the back of the airstone.
Just worried,
I know that they are eating cause by the morning the food is gone.
Is there any cause for me to to be worried?
Do I have to put drift wood with plant?
Tank is 2x2x18 inch
No sub stracture.
Water Ph 6.7
Temp 26
Thank you
Cheer

Temp at 26 sounds too low, mine are at 29
Its strange they don't want to use the caves as mine love them. I have 2 pieces of bogwood in with mine although I've never actually seen them grazing on it so not sure how important it is
Hopefully someone more experienced will be along to help you

Every new Zebra owner is worried, as they are precious.
I wouldn't worry about them not using the caves, they're only babies yet, and would feel more secure in the company of eachother. If the food is gone in the morning then they're eating, so no need for concern there.
Just make sure you keep the water very clean at all times and it sounds to me as they'll be fine
About bogwood, have a look at

Thank you
