My Yellow Labs. also dig holes in the sand. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

He could topple rocks that could kill him or other fish or even break the tank glass. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
