I will not be QTing the fish ... and that fact that I do not have an established QT with a sandbed, I am choosing to go strait to the DT.
+1, it sometimes takes them a bit to find it but eventually they do and bury themselves away.For future reference ... all that you need is a small 'Tupperware' container filled with sand, in the QT, and the leopards would be fine.
I didn't flush her last night because I was not ready to call it. I put her in a hang on rim breeders box but she was floating around in it inverted. This morning she was right side up, so I put her back into the DT and she is swimming OK. Is it possible she was sleeping like that because she could not get dug into my sand?
No, at the very least she would have wedged herself between rockwork. My M. chaoti could not find the container of sand in my acclimation box and instead slept wedged between pieces of PVC. Didn't seem to phase it too much either way. As soon as it was in the DT, it had no problem burying itself like normal. But definitely not normal to be floating around the tank. Any damage to her nose?
