Just wondering what cave size to use for candy striped plecos. I am thinking 1.5"/~4cm will do fine for them. I am getting a large variety of caves including D-shaped, circle, squished, pinched, and square. Hopefully when I get more L015s for breeding they will find them to their liking.

i use a formula going off the size of your male....

width is males body width and one pectorial fin stretched out.....
height is males body height and half dorsal fin height stretched out...

1.5 times males body length minimum... 2 times is about max i would use....

majority of plecs like a tight cave :thumbup:
