You mean turn over your gravel right?

Maybe youd be better getting loaches?

I have a 2 yr old and a 14 week old, I know what your talking about.

Get some clown loaches and bristlenose plecos. They'll both scavenge and the loaches will dig in the gravel.

And some ?name? snails. The long livebearer ones that live in the gravel.

My albino Cory moves the small pebbles I have here and there in my gravel bottom tanks...maybe I have a Rambo Albino Cory, she's the only one I have seen go aggressive like that.
She laid eggs all over my tank, too...even on my large Mystery snail. She's always been a rather aggressive feeder, though.
No rock movement...seems like it would take a sizeable fish to move rocks.

Re: catfish that stay less than 6"

yeah i have 2 loaches in my big tank, and i have some baby bristlenose that are gonna go in there and in my 75, but i was curious about catfishes.  i like the way they look.  i wanted some Synodontis petricola cause i really like the way they look. plus they stay smaller but noone knows where i can get those.
