Burrowing Chromis (lol)

[Zach443]

Ok, so I have a fairly new 36 gallon tank (about 4 months) and the only fish we have in there right now are 4 Green Chromis. Well these guys like to burrow :ooh:. When I say "burrow" I don't mean like when gobies have their little caves in your sand bed, I mean the chromis dug out sand under part of a rock and they swim on their sides to get in. Their little cave is probably about 4 inches long and maybe 2 wide. Also before you criticize me for not giving them proper living spaces, they have plenty of other hiding spaces that they use a lot, but when ever something "really scary" (like an algae scraper, xD) comes by they all go into their cave. I will post some pics of the burrow later today after I get them off my phone. Have any of you ever seen this before??

Mine are hole digging fools too, pretty normal if you ask me.

Glad to know you also possess a fish eating algae scraper, I thought I had the only one. My huge Ornate wrasse always runs under the sand when I'm using it. I'm sure he thinks that he is escaping certain death, LOL!
