oscnz Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Just a quick question how can a eel breath when its dug itself over a inch into the gravel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 There is still water in between the gravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 what you will find is that some fish have an adaptation. say it sucks water into its mouth, it could divert that water so it goes through gills or something. some ancient fish hve this also. perhaps it has that adaptation. but also, an adaptation of low oxygen requirements might be one also, so when dug in the gravel, it can make do with what little water flow it gets while dug in. my TT Eel never digs itself in the sand, albeit the sand gets moved around too quickly, never tried making the sand deeper though. its happy in the fake log that covers its entire body.
