  1. All the ones I had always did. Males, females, doesn’t matter. Once they reach sexual maturity they start digging. Only thing that helped is those tubes for them. And always more tubes than bristlenose. So I had 3, and I’d have like 4-6 tubes (hidey holes, caves, whatever you want to call them). They’d move from tube to tube, but rarely dig their own

  2. Oooh they *love* dig, mine all dig like a mf once they’re mature even if they have caves available lol

    It can get pretty impressive, we’ve got one who’s dug a whole cave *system*. Can’t see it til he disappears at one end of the tank & pops out of the ground at the other!
