Makes sense on a physics level. And I know how cichlids like to dig and rearrange pebbles and gravel. Almost like they're rearranging furniture. Lol
I'm excited for you. My 4 Angels are so beautiful but I wish I could give a couple to you. There are no sex organs showing yet, but I think I got 1 female and 3 males. They have begun to have the most violent swirling fights. They don't actually harm each other but what I assume is the dominant male has 2 of them cornered. He won't let them out to eat. I started leaving the canister filter on when I feed them now to make sure they all can eat...and they do. I've kept and even bred Angles for 3 decades and never saw this behavior. They are really acting like ciclids...that's for sure. Didn't want a 2nd tank these days, bu I think I'm heading there.Tank is cycled, probably from the get go as I moved the sponges filter over from another tank.
Ordered 6 corydora sterbai that off ebay that will be coming next week. Figuring to put those in first and wait a week our two before adding some angels.
I have a couple of pieces of 24" manzanita that is supposed to come Tuesday as well.
Excited to see it coming together!
