    Yip....thats right...my parrot fish thought they could get somewhere until they hit glass......the bottom of the tank. I do know that they dig (from previous experience, and they have done their minor digging, but dam......they dug so much over the last few days they hit the bottom of the tank lol. Anyway just thought i would share that:p

    Serious digging like that(Espesialy if two of them do it together...) - usualy leads to a spot of breeding - 99% of the time Parrot eggs dont hatch though...
