I've got a 2.75" Melanurus in a 45g cube (24x24x18 -- I know it's a small, but she's partially paralyzed and I couldn't rehome her).
Lately I'm finding her digging a LOT and getting sand everywhere, while carefully looking over her dig site. I'm thinking she's looking for worms or something?
I may have just missed the info, but I couldn't find anything on this behavior. But I thought she's searching for goodies because she pretty much floats around all day inspecting every minute nook and cranny for anything that looks delicious. She of course wants my tank to look like a snow globe all the time. Which can get annoying.
Also, I think she's been turning male for a bit, and I should stop calling her 'her'.
