I know these little buggers do a lot of digging and tunneling, so I wasn't surprised to see him go nuts when I moved this guy to my new 135g tank this weekend. The question I have is in regards to how his digging and sand shifting will effect my sand bed?
As much as I enjoy watching him dig I don't want him to mess up my sand bed with his antics. If it's between him and a stable environment....I'll take the stable environment.  |

is it a deep sand bed 4+ inches or a shallow sand bed of <1"?
if its shallow he really not effecting anything and keeping the sand disturbed, but if in a dsb he will effect your anaerobic denitrafing areas. |

It is a DSB, so I was afraid that he would be causing more issues than anything else. Looks like this little bugger will have to go....  |
