| Lost my Spiny Eel for a few days and thought he was under the gravel for the longest time. He had apparently decided to swim up the BioWheel and into the filter media area. He looks fine just weird he would go and hide out in there. I think the water level was a bit high in the tank giving him access. Anyone have fish that have hid out in the back filter box before? | |

I didn't know Khuli loaches burrowed or did they go in through the air tubes? | |

| I have seen khuli loaches burrow under the undergravel filter plates.And I have found a missing crawfish inside a hydor hang on the tank filter.They seem to feel secure in places that are almost too small for them to fit in. | |
