I recently got 2 Golden Dojo loaches, and the tank is due for a water change day after tomorrow. I know they burrow, so I'm wondering... how is this going to work? I have pea gravel in the tank, just to let you know what kind of substrate I use. I siphon down about an inch. Has anyone here ever accidentally "stabbed" a loach with the siphon? If they aren't both out where I can see them, how can I be sure to avoid such a disaster? I would just die if I hurt or killed one of them!
