Is my nem ok?

[xavi_west]

Hey guys!

About a week ago I bought a GBTA and placed her on the top corner of one of my rock display. Shes been going down the rock a lot since last week and today I found her inside a crevice between the rocks... is this ok? should I be worried? or just let her be or remove her and place her somewhere else?? :hmm4:

Thanks for reading!

nems move when they're not happy. can't really help you out without more info on your tank. need to know what size tank, how long it been running, what kinda lighting, water parameters, etc.

I think it'll be fine. They're known to do this from time to time. Let it adjust at its own pace. If you move it too much or irritate it it may eventually wander towards the powerheads...not good.

yeah! probably it's the best to let her alone if shes just adapting :artist:


Thanks for your replys!

If it's newly placed then it's just finding a spot where it is happy and feels secure. BTAs like to have their foot in a crevace so they feel safe and can retract if they feel threatened. I wouldn't worry about it right now. Give it a few weeks to settle in.
