Hey guy
Got a quick question. Is it normal for O's to be really like active and swimming around the tank then suddenly just tend to hide a lot?
I noticed that after i put the sand i my O's Tank that they seemed to be hiding behind the drift wood i have in there and have dug up some sand and make a cave thing under some of driftwood. They are still eating and stuff but have never hidden so much.
My albino will come out from time to time but not often.
Here are some pics of where they are hiding and the dug out cave thing.
Any idea on what could be going on?

Every time I change the decor mine does the one eye up routine. Especially freaks out my wife and kids. Funny how that one eye is making sure I'm not heading over to the food cabinet though. He has a miraculous recovery if that's the case.

Sierrra, that's a beautiful setup, but keep an eye on the longer, pointier drift wood. You're Os may wind-up with wounds from bashing against it at night.
