Hey deb have you tried one of those? Their neat looking . Ima make two Or three for now with my barnacle cluster and hope he lives in it!? just hope he doesnt move around too much and not use em
lol. I hear your not supposed to disturb the sandbed. Will this maybe spike my parameters or anything? And how thick a pipe should i use? Oh lol one more question do i fillthat tunnel w sand or leave it empty? said:
No I haven't used it. Right now I need to move her from the 24g to her new home in the 60g and "hoping" she'll go into this PVC setup I used before to move her, but so far I'm not having much luck. It's just natural for a jawfish to take mouthfuls of sand and move it to build their burrow. That's just what they do. So when planning for a jawfish most people put in deeper sandbeds. I had read that if they don't have a sandbed to work on they can become stressed. As far as disturbing the sand, I was very concerned about that in the beginning. But she has moved pretty much all the sand in that tank down to the glass at one time or another. This tank had a 4-5 inch deep sandbed and there have been no ill effects. I had read somewhere they have a sort of slime in their mouth. This little girl moves sand tirelessly all day long...and at night if there's enough light. Even when she went blind for a few months I think the ability to dig and move sand was probably keeping her somewhat calmer.
