You have such a cool predator tank. I can see how they would eat your clean up crew.
Thanks! Yes, that is one problem. The Spiny eels and the Chaca Chaca Catfish both burrow under the sand. How ever, the chaca stays under the crypt forest (which i have to replant every water change) and the eels are strong enough to move rooted plants. So I was thinnking about a ground cover plant on the right side of the tank near the rock work and driftwood!

Here are some pics for anybody who doesnt wanna watch the vid, sorry i have no full tank shots. ill work on that:
