There was once i disturb my 1ft tank too much that my pair of similis refuse to show face after that.
End-up i have to introduce another pc of similis to lure them out.
i trying to get some flat rock so they will only be able to go and out of the entrance where i can see them... and also a feeding area where they willl come when i appear or i on the light.. LOL

am i dreaming too much?

In my opinion they'll go out when they have settled down well. Mine doesn't hide already unless I make sudden large moments and spook them. So you're not dreaming bro

ok.. i'm not that worry about the shell.. more on the male.. cos he hide from my sight.. so duno wad is happening.. maybe will shift the lava rock closer to the back of the tank wall.. so i can abit of the male head..

btw does the male need a shell too? it ok? i thinking of not getting shell but maybe get coconut hust to form a cave like thingy for the shellies.. do u guy think it will work?
