Hi all,
Recently got a healthy LTA after a couple battles with some arriving with damaged feet. This one settled in and footed for 3 weeks, all looked good. Couple days ago it decided to release. I noticed slight damage to the side of its foot. I'm wondering if my cucumber which is spiny could be an issue? Even the slightest bump could tear into it and its pretty active at night. Would they get close to a nem in the tank?
For now I have built a little barrier around the nem but it still won't foot itself but does seem to be showing a little improvement. The clowns were also quite rough with it so I'm trying to keep them away. It initially footed between a rock and sand. They would literally nose dive the thing and pin it against the rock, that may have caused it too.
So, wondering before I remove the shield if I should look for a new home for the cucumber? If so would a smooth body sand sifting one be OK?
Thx
Andrew
