About the filter, you could try getting a piece of foam and attaching it to the intake with a rubber band. I have never tried it, but it was mentioned to me when my HOB was bothering my betta.
I found him! His tail is sticking out of the gravel. Everything else is buried. That seems like a pretty ridiculous position to chill in. Anyway, i guess he is content. I'll try sinking some bloodworms near him. Unfortunately, i think the other fish in the tank will snag them long before he has a chance. How long can these guys go without food? When should i start digging around?
