New MTS not moving much?
I managed to slowly acclimate a MTS from FW to about 1.010-1.011 over the last 2 weeks, it lived in 1.010 salinity for the entire second week. I kept in a jar with some macro but no substrate. It showed no problems. It ate bits of the dead macro and even gave birth to two baby snails. But since I moved it to the shrimp setup, it hasn't moved much except for burying itself. I did find some poop around it so that should be a good sign. Is it normal for them to be this inactive during the day or does it have something to do with the water?

They do like to bury themselves from time to time & can go dormant for a few days. If you're wondering it it's alive check. If the Operculum is still intact it's fine. Usually it detaches quickly ones it dies.

Found it on top of some macroalgae at 4 AM. Think it should be ok for now.
