Good day all,I have a Cichlid question.
Just recently my 4 young male Cichlids have begun to dig. Not just random digging, but digging under the decorations designed to hide in.
Instead of just putting rocks in my tank for them to hide behind, I put in things that that could hide in even when they reach full size. They are all about half size now. And few days ago one by one they each picked a deco. and began going inside getting a mouth full of gravel and coming out and then spitting out the gravel.
Is this normal? If so, why are they doing it? Or is this abnormal and same question, what would make them do it?
