Do Drawf Cichlids Prefer Caves Or Swimming Space

[Seetrix]

Hey I have a tank full of dwarf cichlids and it's aa whole tank full of rocks and caves every where but they don't seem to use the caves anymore they all swim in the smallest amont of free space in the tank so would it be better to just have one end of the tank all caves and one end free swimming space

they do need alot of caves but they might want some swimming space.

this is what my 10g dwarf cichlid tank looks like

Ok cool thanks I was wanting to seperate n change my tank for ages now but I thought they'd like more caves but now there setteled in fully they don't chill in the caves that much so I'll split it up half n half thanks mate

Rams dont really need caves.
