Oh wow, I heard they move over night usually? I woke up this morning and he expanded himself further into the spot, he's like 5x his size when I got him, it's insane.
They do. In my last tank, mine moved to where it liked the lighting and flow (when I had lights on and was at work) and stayed there. Can't remember exactly what kind it was. I got lucky in that it it chose the front of the tank about half way up. It hosted my Maroon Clown for years.
Yes it's most common for them to move overnight but it could also take a few days.
My guy you jinxed me lol he moved, and he's gone, no pieces floating, pumps are covered. I am concerned he went through the back of the Biocube but he's not in the first chamber and that's the only spot he could hide. I'm at a loss right now and terrified he's going to die somewhere. Been looking for 3 hours zzzzz
My understanding is for mature tanks it should handle the amonia spike.
I see, here's the piece I found of him. The first thing I did, once I found the piece, was check the ammonia. It's at zero. But I also have a pretty large piece of Chaeto growing in the back of my tank. I'm just worried about when he really starts decomposing, if he is in fact dead. I typically manually dose, but I did buy a dose pump while I was going to be on vacation. I wonder if I should put some type of ammonia remover inside the doser instead. I can control remotely while I'm gone, and make it dose 1 ml per minute and turn off remotely.
