UPDATE! So I suppose I forgot to mention the new female and the male have been together for a day so far. I had just recently gone to check on the two and the male seems have chosen his mating spot. He has created a ditch under the log and is now remaining under the log overhang with his head...

Look into sponge filters also, they do make soft bubbling noises, but I tend to find it very relaxing :brows:. To clean them, you simply siphon some old tank water into a bucket (such as when you are doing a water change) and squeeze the sponge a couple of times in the old tank water, (this also...
