Bad Wolf

okay, recently my clown loach (about 2 inches long) has been picking up gravel, one by one, with it's mouth and moving it about an inch away. It looks like he is digging, is this common for clown loaches? I just find it amazing if he is actually digging.

Hello BadWolf. Here is some information you may find helpful concerning your clowns (if you haven't seen it already) Too, I'm sure Butterfly will see this and respond. Her Clowns are "awesome".
