This one's a 6 inch lombardoi that has dug in my gravel all the way to the glass in about a 1' radius, no kidding. Is this harmful? I have no UGFs, but could it be making my water cloudy, or does it mess around with the bacteria colonies? Or should I just let him dig? Thanks

I'm assuming the cloudiness is because the tank is going through a mini-cycle now that I've added a few new fish. Thanks!
