Good call. Keep us posted. Sometimes they just need time to adjust, but better safe than sorry with these guys.

True, but if it's new behavior, worth monitoring. Maybe skip a feeding day to rule out bloating.

Agreed. Also, what's your lighting schedule? Sudden changes can stress them. Stick to 8-10 hours with gradual ramp-up if you've got adjustable LEDs.

Mine perks up with more hiding spots. Added a couple extra rocks and it stopped the upside-down thing. Could be a security issue.
