Right the Asta20 has now been turned up to full. I have taken a few pic's both close up of the nem and Asta20, a wider view and a full tank shot below on my phone so don't shoot the cameraman. :(

Pic of the nem taken, looking even better than in the pic. I think I can now safely say the 6500k light has made a big difference to the health of my nem.

It's not immediately clear what the health problems were in the beginning. Looking at the photos only I'm not sure I know exactly what's better or worse. Can you elaborate a bit on how the health is improved?

Thanks!

The nem kept going back to the weir, high up almost out of the water at the top, it was also shrunk up and wouldn't take food offered. Now everything is the opposite to how it was and the colour has improved greatly. I fed it on Saturday and Sunday no problem at all and it accepted the small portion of prawn offered. I have not tried to feed it today but will most likely feed it tomorrow now,

Removed the large rock the and created a bit more space for the flat topped rock with nem to sit on but lower down in the tank on Friday. I also fed the nem and so far it has stayed put, time will tell if it stays there or moves yet again so fingers crossed again. The nem however, is looking very well indeed and has grown considerably since I got it. I have been feeding it every other day mostly.
