asiatica like to digg

[Brucki]

Hi guys,

here a few pics, that show why channa shouldn't be kept on the bare glass. Use Sand or small silica gravel, so the fish can digg holes under stones.

This asiatica tries to hide in the sand, after beeing introduced in this mew tank with too less hiding places (now there are enough)

This pic shows my female asiatica after digging a hole unter a piece of bogwood to give her youngsters a secure hiding place (were i cannot see them )

There are some of the fry visible on the pic.

Cheers

My channa lucius and channa striata does the same thing too especially when I do water change.

niiiice

my auranti although has sand, have never seen him try to hide, but i do find sand on the wood once in a while, which means he surely digs, i have quite an amount of driftwood in the tank for him to hide, but now that he is a big boy, i find him more aggressive and usually when there is any sifted sand revealing the bottom of the tank, he keeps attacking his reflection there

Hi,

aurantis are known to digg caverns under stone plates aswell.
