More plants will be added later and some rocks will be removed to allow for more swimming space. All in all I'm really liking it. He has been eating fine since the move but I will resume his diet tomorrow.

He hasn't buried yet, there's really no space for him to bury. I plan on removing some rocks soon so he will have an area.goldielocke76 wrote:Has he buried himself in the sand yet??
