I was just checing out my Kribs, they had excavated a pit next to a 4" pot in their tank. I thought that they were breeding but I wasn't sure because there is alot of stuff, rocks and plants, in the way so I can't see in there well enough to spot eggs.

Anyway I see momma swim in there and disappear under the pot. She, or they have dug a tunnel under the pot. The substrate is sand and now it looks like if they keep going the pot may collapse the tunnel. I don't want to disturb the thing though because I think they probably have wigglers under there.

Live and learn I guess. Next time I work the pot into the sand all the way to the bottom. I think I'll give them a week then take a peek if I don't see anything before that.

Just thought I'd share with ya'll.

Mike

I was right I saw swimmers though momma herds them back under the pot. I delivered a load of baby brine shrimp via a turkey baster and some came out a little way to get them.
