I am looking for the answer to "WHY" of this question because I can tell you, yes, they can and do.
I had five and one day came home and had three. I found one, laying under a rock in the gravel. I startled it and it came out and has been swimming around for days.
I never did find the other one, I searched the filter and the gravel but it is probably just well hidden/died in the gravel.
Now that first one is missing again. I understand her ways now, and am about to commence a search. Maybe she is trying to lay eggs.
I just really want to know, why....if they like doing this then I don't want to disturb her but am afraid she will get stuck and die.
So I will write again soon.
There are a lot of reasons. Usually to protect itself from predators, but sometimes they bury themselves to look for food.
Glofish were created in 2004.
I have a pleco and a Glofish together.
No glofish are a patented strain of zebra danios and its illegal to sell, trade, or even purposely breed glofish.
it wants to die
it likes the moist environment!
Their bright colors make it look as if they glow in the light.
When a jellyfish chemical is put into zebra diano eggs. tadaa. a glofish!
A couple minutes
There are several animals that bury themselves. Lizards, turtles, hedgehogs and the scarab beetle all bury themselves in dirt.
