Hey everybody, I guess the title says most of it. I caught a couple of tadpole madtoms, and I've been housing them in a small tank with a sort of sharp gravel substrate for plants, Flourite. I've seen my madtoms trying to burrow into it and I was just wondering if you guys had any experience with these little guys. Do they burrow? Would sand be better? Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah, one of my madtoms lodges itself behind the heater under the filter at the surface of the tank, and the other squeezes between an Anubias plant and a rock. I think they should be fine. They are really interesting little creatures.

Well, "Match the Hatch", as they say. What kind of substrate did you catch them over?
