Spotty has two locations, but prefers his main burrow in the middle of the tank.

He may go back to the PVC, but unoccupied may become a death trap for hermits if they stray into the slick walled tube.

Sunshine has 2 left. The rest he has covered up when he no longer wanted them. One thing I have learned is that digging their burrow is somehow important to their mental health. I was not giving big enough rubble to Sunshine and even though he had a network of tunnels he stopped eating until Scott told me to give him bigger pieces of shell and rock. he started building immediately and ate like a pig that night and since. I now keep a significant amout of varous size rubble in the tank at all times in case he decides to build more at any time. You would be amazed at how large a piece of rubble they can move. Sunshine has moved pieces bigger than himself.

Every time Spotty moves I place a handful of rubble in his new location for building materials.

Happy to see that all the little guys are doing well.

My little guy has been with me now for over 6 months, and it seems that he has found his spot. I don't think that he has moved from his spot for months now.

Nice BS Reza!

Thanks Scott

Well darn it! You might know Digger has made his new home in the back corner of the tank! His sand mound is so high I can hardly see him! Plus it makes it more difficult to feed him. Maybe he'll go back to one of his other houses!?

kimoy · 04-14-2008, 12:21 AM

happy to anounce that spot is back to his original home the next day I placed him back in the main tank and remained there since.

Great news kimoy. Glad to hear all is well in BSJF land!

These guys really have a mind of their own!

He'll come out again, they like watching us as much as we like watching them!

That's wonderful news Kim!

Sounds like good news for all. That is so great to hear.
I wouldn't worry about feeding him in his new home Basser. Sunshine comes out anywhere in the tank at feeding time. I have even seen him grab food out of another fish's mouth.
I know what you mean Scott about them watching us. Sunshine and I play hide and seek almost every morning. I just have soo much fun watching this fish. Once I get the seahorses I may never leave the front of the tank.

Reefer333 · 04-14-2008, 04:58 PM

Well I have tank back to normal now, and preperations are being made to attempt the legendary BSJF again. I'm going to move some rock around to give the little fella more room to build his home. And I bought another 20 lbs of live sand to increase my sand bed to 4-5 inches. I will post some photos of the before and after. My little guy is in quarintine and should be ready in about 2-3 weeks!! Wish me luck..

Best of luck. Is this another Live Aquaria Blue? They seem to do better than most though mine was from the LFS.
