Haddoni observations, feedback please

Akram · 10/27/2018, 10:34 AM

I have 2 observations:

1- I used hydrogen peroxide on some gha I had, and the carpet didn’t react well at all with it. I have a 100 gallon total water volume, and I only used about 10ml. It shrunk and it’s mouth came out and acted as it was dying.
It recovered a few hours later.

2 - one night it decided to climb on glass and move upward, it’s foot was very fat. I didn’t do nothing. Midnight I checked it was almost at water surface level.
The next morning she was back in the sand, and the weirdest thing is that my external skimmers overflow 1 gallon container was full. It was at 1/4 inch dry skimmate the day before. My skimmer never did that for a year and a half.

Could it be spawning? That’s the only thing I could think about.
Everything was normal and I didn’t do anything unusual to the tank.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

They do not move when they spawn. It usually happens like an hour after lights out. Spawning males make water cloudy. You would have seen cloudiness the next morning. So maybe stress female spawn. Keep an eye on it.

Could peroxide have caused skimmers to flip out, I know certain treatments/ medications cause it.
