L66 must have as much caves as there are fish. Male and female will take caves. I use large caves for my L66. They don't fit in medium size.

My own bred F1's are now 21 months old and still don't show signs of breeding. They are about 10-12cm, males are showing some odonthode growth on the pectorial ray and tail end.

i had a large wild caught group of L066 a while back, they first breed at approx 3" total length. As stated both males and females cave most of the time.
