Adding sand to my eel and triggers tank

[Samanthabea]

So I need more sand under my eels home rock it's become to thin under it it was fine when he first came in but now I watch him struggle a little to fit after a feeding which is when I noticed the need for more sand in that area I bought more but how do I minimize ticking the eel off by moving his rocks and laying new sand down(I know no matter what he's ganna hate it)

Don't overthink it just add the sand and the animals will rearrange it to there liking.

Think you just have to try and do it quick, not real surgical way to do it.

Ya my main concern is getting bit from moving everything around

A little slow-going, put how about using a piece of 1” pvc pipe and a plastic funnel to shoot the sand right where you want it (like you say— to not get eel-bitten).

That's true same result less hands in the trigger has bit me before hes just to small to do damage yet but those teeth on the eel.... rather not and say I did lift the rock pvc to under it(also I don't have to remove the rock entirely)
