Pleco Caves - How many is enough?

Recommended Posts

I have two pairs of adult Bristlenose plecos in my super heavily planted 55-gallon. I have bought and made over a dozen caves for the tank. However, they still prefer one in a particular spot in the tank. I have multiple of this one cave in the tank, but they still choose to fight over this one. Any ideas to either reduce the aggression between the two males or help them choose other caves in the tank?

Look at lighting in the preferred area. How much flow is there. How secluded and more defensible, Hiw close is the usual feeding spot, how many other fish hang in that area etc. figure out why that tank location is preferred and make adjustments to other areas.
