How big to make a cave for a false personifer?

[clowntriggerfis]

Will a pair of false personifers share a cave if so how big should the cave be? If not how big a cave be for one? Thanks

I don't know even if its a mated pair that will be sharing the same cave. If you're buying a pair online (assuming it's online otherwise you wouldn't be asking this since you will be able to see in person) I would plan to have multiple caves for them to pick and if they hang out together than that's a bonus.

As for cave size just big enough for them to go easily in and out will be fine.

Would about 11in deep 6in wide and 6+in tall work?

Depends on the size of the pair say if the pair is less than 6" than the H & W is fine. I wouldn't worry too much how D but rather opening in the back for the fish to escape.

Best is to have multiple caves and let them pick their own.

Ok I will do that but I want to make sure I have a cave big enough for a full grown adult.

Full grown in the wild is 10" so apply the 80% rule in the tank it's still going to about 8".

So how big should a cave be for one?
