None of my fish. Unless it's a member of the cleanup crew, but I certainly don't think a little hermit or snail would cause a spike like that. My brittle star has gone missing again though.

I'm not getting a Potters angel. I am planning for a future tank. I also don't have birds, but I do have cats. The FW fish and hamsters belong to my daughter.
I have not stirred up the sandbed.
