Hey just curious if anyone else experiences this, ever since my auranti settled in and the plant cover settled to make them feel secure they have been much more active,

I noticed they have an interesting habit of moving the sand from the bottom of the tank, up onto the driftwood/rock formations, at first I thought maybe the angle of my filter had blown sand u and settled on top of drift wood,

but I dusted it all off and I know the filter is not stirring up anything, and there is ALOT of sand and pebbles like someone took a bucket and dumped it over top of the driftwood/rock formations,

I haven’t seen them do it but they must scooping mouth full swimming up to the top of the tank, and then spitting it out... and it seems if I clean it off they just do twice as much work the next night lol, I have since stopped dusting off the sand and rocks that they move up on top, it is there home after all I’ll let them do as they wish, just curious if anyone else notices their auranti doing this?
 
Just realized I didn't post this in the snakehead forum could someone move it for me?
