Thoughts on getting a nem to move.

Okay okay... I know. Nems will wander until they find a spot they like. Fair enough. Mine settled in the back of my tank, which sucked but whatever. Well, it split and both settled back there... more suckage. Now, my clowns have found it :yay: ... and its still behind the rocks :yuk:

Maybe... put a rock over the area that the nem gets its light from? I really REALLY want to have the clown/nem dynamic VISIBLE in my tank if its there.

Thoughts?

So can you get to them or not?

Grant,
Can you direct a stream back there, maybe the output of a PH? That can get them to move.

Any way you can actually move that whole rock? I've had some wanderers, but have noticed that when they find their spot, they really like it. Even if I've moved the rock around they will stay put on that rock. Might be worth a try if you don't have to tear the whole tank down to move it or turn it around.

I'll have to try the powerhead method. I wish I could move the rock, but its sort of integral to the overall island. If I move it, well... i'll have a lot to repair. Hmmmmm...

I can touch them, see them, whatever, but they are along the very back wall, and when the clowns are in them, they fall behind the rock structure... which sux.
