So neither species has a reputation as a burrower, but deep substrate is definitely recommended and a hide is a must. They might dig, they might not. That’s up to them. The sub can be kept dry, just provide a water bowl, a bottle cap or condiment cup will suffice. Neither is also known to be a heavy Webber so don’t sweat anchor points too much but decor can’t hurt either. Don’t worry how old they are, you’ll never find an answer. Fortunately, these are two species that aren’t bad for beginners, and actually rather forgiving of husbandry mistakes. Pictures would help, but this is the best blind advice I can give.</blockquote>
