Hi again!
Okay so since the last time, mr. violet gobi has healed from the attack by the puffers (who went to a good home). He has thrived in the brackish tank, that I have added sand to. (we have been doing everything in stages). We added a snail to help clean glass. our little dragon fish is no longer little...but has blossomed into a huge gobi...averaging right now with healed fins about 8 inches in length and a good 1/4 to 1/2 inch in girth.
So my expert friends, my question is:
I have an ornamental cave....for him, but he is constantly trying to burrow in it..it is just not big enough for him. What is the best way to construct a type of burrow for him that isn't dangerous (collapses etc)..so that he will be happy when the light is on cuz he has a decent burrow?

you could make a cave with slate pieces and silicone. that way you could get it exactly how u want it

I vote for a pvc pipe. Its good for long skinny fish. There is a thread n here called "homemade cave" I think that shows how to make one by gluing the gravel/sand onto the pvs pipe with aquarium safe glue. It actually looks really cool and is great for long, skinny fish. Its also pretty cheap.
