Nem on the move

[spieszak]

RBTA. It was expected. I moved the tank. Params are in line, but the rockwork has moved, and the circulation pattern has changed. I'm not concerned with the movement, and I'm sure it will settle once it finds a spot.
The question: Is moving hard on the nem, nutrient wise. Is he "burning excessive caloric values", and should I consider feeding? (I don't feed on a regular schedule, here and there when I have something it might like, like when we have shrimp for dinner)

All food should be RAW. No human additives.

It does burn quite a bit of calories when moving and healing.

Let it go... Most feed from the water column it's self. Us, humans over feed it compared to what it gets in the wild.

Why do you think they are so sticky sometimes. Grab the fish as it brushes or gets pushed into it by a wave or hiding. What.. once every now and then...

It will settle. Let it run around for a while. It might do one big circle and come back to the same spot. You never know.

How long have you had it and how old is the tank and nutrients levels?

What type PH?? Are you using foam covers incase it decided to FLOAT?

I'd prefer not to cook for myself, let alone the nem!
I've had the nem for 2 years, I'm not worried at all that the move has to do with anything other than the lighting/flow conditions changing. Powerheads covered, although I doubt my female clown would LET it float. Happy healthy nem, just not settled in from the change yet.
I think I'll hold off on feeding, unless it finds a place where I'd really like it to stay, then maybe I'll throw it a small chunk of something, to see if that helps in choosing that spot. Otherwise, its welcome to walk until it finds its happy place.
