Yes definitely. A bare tank takes some getting used to though.


Maybe eventually i can put things in that they can hide under like a stump or something. I wanna see how they act with more polys too. When i first too the dw out the endli was frantically trying to hid under the other polys...very funny

It's gotta be nice to see your polys from head to tail all the time. :) Rather than hiding.

Notice any nipping behavior from the endli? I have been super busy and have not had a chance to set up the 65B and move the driftwood. :(

I hope to see a reduction in aggression and maybe the other polys not having split tails.

Havent noticed any but prior to removing the dw the nipping wasnt on a regular basis so its kind of hard to tell if it will change.

It doesn't have to be bare. Think adding additional tall plants to fill it out more space would be fine. If driftwood is a must. I've found some large flat bottom pieces in the past where they can't establish a hide. Kinda like a stump with branches, or pieces that have a straight bottom cut. The emphasis of this 'bare' test is for the polys to be less territorial and aggression issues, and even swim around more right?
