My aggressive African cichlid has started rearranging the gravel in the tank
« on: July 14, 2015, 07:05:54 PM »
My aggressive cichlid is now rearranging the gravel in the tank.  Should I be concerned?  Why is he/she doing this?

 Nothing to worry about, that's perfectly natural behavior.

Thanks for responses.  I had no idea what the fish was doing or why.   :)
