Moving Gravel

[jjdsplace]

why would my fish be moving the gravel around and making a pit like hole

thats funny because i was just wondering the same thing . my oscar has got to the piont where he moves all the gravel to one side of the aquarium and then he lays on his side on the bare bottom .

mine have only just started doing it. im not sure who is responsible but i filled a pit this morning then when i came home this evening there was another pit

My african cichlid digs a hole under my log, and my bichir makes his little fortress in the back of the tank. Odd.

guess these fish are common for it but why would they do it ( my snakehead did the same when it moved into my dads)

I guess they don't like your design.

They make nests and try to attract females.

Some spawn in pits.

 

[jjdsplace]

any idea which of mine would be doing it

Natural instinct, they love to dig holes. My guess it is for breeding and for nesting. Mine love to hang out in the craters.

All Cichlids are tank redecoraters... just try to have some plants with Red Devils after they are 4 months old.
