Hello all; I wanted to double check on something with my new Nerite. He's been at the upper right corner above the waterline for awhile now, a day, at least, and I will be checking the water quality at petsmart, but in the meantime, I saw my Betta Zeus, harassing the poor guy. He kept pecking at him. I think he may have tried to eat a probisci at one point. I was rather disappointed, as I hoped my guy would be docile enough to leave him alone. Not at all, though. I tried putting a baby apple snail in there too, and he flipped him right over right away!
Anyhow, I was wondering if he's spending all that time up there because he's spooked from Zeus? If my water quality is OK, how should I proceed? Just leave him be until he comes back down? I don't know how long they can stay up there before one should grow concerned. I thought I read somewhere that they can enter dormant states. It's been particularly humid and hot here, too, so I'm thinking that may have raised the temperature of the tank a bit, too.
