topher02 Enthusiast Posts: 267 Kudos: 365 Votes: 0 Registered: 01-Dec-2003	I have lots of plats, driftwood and rocks in my 29 standard. All I have in the tank is one electic yellow, hes has grown to become quite large. Anyway today he was working hard inside one of my rock/wood caves. All day I heard rocks hitting the glass. So tonight I looked in and there was a huge pile of gravel outside the cave, and he had dug to almost the bottom of the tank. Does this meen he wants to breed? I know its a male. Thanks for the help -topher
