Ive heard conflicting advice regarding the caves needed for breeding L10A. Some I have heard say use an cave open an both ends and others report that caves blocked at one end are best?

At the moment I have a few of the charcoal bamboo caves (blocked at one end) which the male seems to like. What are your experiences?

I guess some fish like a choice, just give them several caves plus some open tubes, they will choose what suits them.
