Hey guys! I got a really cool lime green bta on Friday. I placed him in the front middle of my tank which I guess I probably shouldn't have done because of the high flow. My rock-work is an arch, and he was top, center. I knew it would move, and it did overnight. It first moved lower down which I assume was for less light and flow, but then it snuck into a hole between rocks and is now on the underside of my rock-work underneath the arch. I figure I should just let him be and decide where he wants to go, but I wanted to get some affirmation on it. He is still puffed up and not shrunken at all or anything. I also wondered if he could just be getting used to the new environment, and he'll come back out in a few days when he is adjusted more. Thanks for any advice and help!

Also, kinda hard to get a pic of it, so I haven't yet but if y'all want one I can try to get one.
 
Yep they move about can go into rocks for weeks. Just leave alone and it will come out in its own time and find its happy place.
