Jawfish- will he ever stop?

[furyous67]

Good Day,
Our newest family member is a beautiful blue-spotted jawfish.
He is really fascinating and building a very large den with tunnels.
I keep adding to his rubble pile and his mound keeps getting bigger and bigger. He is now even taking rocks into his den and bracing the tunnels from collapsing from the inside. Really ! Simply amazing but, will he ever stop? Should I quite adding to His rubble pile? I did research before purchase and am fine with him tunneling... just wanting to learn more.

Thanks for sharing.

How large of a piece of pvc (like 1/4", 1/2"- would 1/4" be large enough for the little guy to fit in?) White pvc or black?

Thanks

make sure to keep your water temps close to 75-77 for them, otherwise they will not last in the long run
