How on earth do you keep your rocks like that? How big is he? Mine is 3 1/2 feet long, and he puts the rocks wherever he wants them. It cracks me up. The first few days I had him I set the rocks up all nice, with nice caves and stuff. Well, next thing you know, CRASH! He burrowed through them all until they were exactly where he wanted them. It's funny. One of these days, I think my SNE will end up getting smashed by his redecorating!!!
 
well my tess is not too big yet. he/she is approx2ft some rocks have already been moved.i am going to add some platic crates underneath the sand and put the rocks on them so the rocks dont crack my tank, i forgot to do that before i added him to the tank. he is still very shy and he will be housed alone. the only other things i might add in the future is cleaner shrimps snails stuff. my experiance with tesy's is that they eventually try an most of the time accomplish eating any fish in the tank. the only fish i had success keeping with a tessy is a clown grouper, but the fish was tested pleny of times, the only reason it was not killed is cause of it defence mechanisim. this guy is a striker. when i give him shrimp or crab meet he stalkes it then like lightning grabs it from the feeder stick i dont think ill ever try hand feeding him!:}
