Mine certainly spend a lot of time suckered to branches and twigs. I’d say they need wood, not to eat but to rest on: ideally thinner branches criss-crossing the tank. This is my set up. A bit cloudy as i just rescaped it the day before this photo. 20191016_152241.jpg Tank is a 46g bowfront He does...
