Champion Diggers

[convict360]

So, in what is quite often the most exciting past time of the majority of fish lives; who are your nominations for most extreme diggers?

I'll start off with a pathetic example, being my old blood parrot that moved large mounds around in breeding behaviours.

Pics are welcome too haha

I would have to nominate my jaguar cichlid! The fish can completely block out a side of his tank with gravel over the course of a day haha.

My Oscar! Although he's not as extreme about it now that he's in a bigger tank and with other fish. Still a champion landscaper though lol.

My Firemouth cichlid! My gravel is about 1" thick in his tank, and he will clear some areas out and make 3-4" mounds of gravel.

When I had African haps my malawi sand diver--fossorochromis rosturus. I had a pair and they when scared would dig and bury themselves in the sand. Gorgeous fish if you never seen a male google them

My vote would go to my old pair of jags. Pile all the gravel to one side of the tank even after I fix it.

Saltwater-diamond goby. Would cover rocks 6" tall in sand just to keep his burrow clean under the rock.
