I'm having second thoughts about having fish in my tank that I never see.
I've got a spotted Raphael and two Pictus Catfish. The Raphael lives in a piece of fake driftwood and I never see him!
If I try and get him out he wedges himself in and he won't come out. I changed out his home once and had to break the ornament (w/hammer) to get him out. I turn his current home upside down occasionally so I can see (w/a flashlight) if he's still alive.
The Pictus are almost as bad. They rarely come out during the day.
So is it worth it to have fish you never see in your tank contributing to the bioload?
