Im contemplating getting rid of the large piece of wood in favor of some longer slightly straighter pieces. That way he would not be completely out of sight all the time.
I actually thought of that. But then it occurred to me that the place he chose to hide was directly in the path of one of my power heads. I have one on the bottom right in the back just to keep the water moving behind that wood.
Don’t want to write a book here with all the specs and tell my fish keeping story.
Here is my situation. I have a 55g long tank. It is a well planted, well established community aquarium. I have several different peaceful fish. I have a beautiful Blue Gourami who has taken to an area behind a...
