I want a red devil!!!

[midasman714]

Welcome to MFK! He is real nice. I like his overall total shape. I love the choice of substrate as well. Nice tank midasman714.

Thanks!

only problem w/ the substrate is, is that the "devil" digs and digs and already clogged up the filter he's going to be a wild one!

What kind of filter?

 

[midasman714]

i have two filters, the one he clogged was a penguin 330 w/ the bio wheels; one of those hanging off top filters, for lack of a better term. i saw 2 new large craters in the substrate and knew the cause.

The term is HOB or hang on back filter....And I don't get it does he spit the sand into the intake?

 

[midasman714]

yea, he must have. i came home from work one day and the water was noticeably cloudier than usual and saw the filter wasn't flowing. took it apart and sure enough, a good collection of sand gathered inside it. i cleaned it and its working fine right now, im just hoping the problem doesn't persist. i'd hate to go back to gravel!

Update!!! She has still never attacked anything. She looks like a boy though so I always call her a he. lol Her breeding tube was out for a week or so. She was thrashing around all night. digging rocks and spitting them all over. She must have laid eggs and ate them, because her belly is small and she has calmed back down.
