Lonely or insomina

Post by singlemomwithcrab » Sun Jan 11, 2015 11:23 am

So one of my smalls has just been wondering around the tank all last night and again this morning. He just keeps wondering in and out of all the hides and all around. Everyone else has tucked themselves in for the day. What do you think...put him in a large tupperware with jungle gym stuff???

I don't think it's too unusual for them to be out and about during the day some. My Niphredil is just leaving the food dish now. "midnight" snack I guess?? LOL But yeah, I see them active during the day fairly often. Not as much as at night but a decent amount. I wouldn't worry. Just enjoy the activity. :)

LOL...he's like my son, wandering aimlessly. I can almost here him.

Ha - fixed that, made him help me clean the tank and smooth the sub.
