Hey everyone,
I've finally finished cycling my 12 gallon nano deluxe. It has a few pounds of live rock and a 4 or 5 inch sand bed. I stuck all the rock on the back wall of the tank and left a huge amount of sand in the front so the jawfish could do his thing. Well, I put my new jawfish in last night and this morning I see that he constructed his burrow behind the rock! If he stays there i'll never get to see him. Is there anything I can do to persuade him to start a burrow towards the front? thanks for any advice!
 
Not without stressing the fish out. They tend to like to have their burrows in protected areas, though, so you could spread the rock out a bit and see if he'll move.
