training shrimp gobies

[fishlover1478]

is it possible to have a shrimp goby and shrimp to burrow in specific spot?

some of my ideas for this

is when feeding only feed there.

get a divider and section of the most you can until they pretty much only have the spot you chose.

having extra sand and debris for them to build out of.

keeping the rest of the tank really clean of debris.


those are my ideas let me know if you have any or if you see issues.

Yeah, when you put the pisol shrimp in, enclose it in something like a plastic container so it can't move far from where you want it to burrow, and put a small depresssion there so the shrimp can automatically "think" "oh hey! there's already a preexisting burrow here for me to dig in!"

good idea with the existing burrow
