I have a bubble tip that has been in my tank for maybe a month. I just got another one and put it sorta near the old one and now the old one is moving everywhere.
Any connection? is this normal?

are you sure they are both bubble tips? if they are different types of nems then it could cause it, but if they are for sure both bubble tips then I wouldn't imagine that would have been the cause. nems of the same species are USUALLY ok by each other as far as I know

did you adjust powerheads at all, or play around with aquascape? My bubble tips move around a bit after adding a new one, too.

My only **THOUGHT** is that the new ones may be "hogging" the light or flow. Kind of a big brother being annoyed by the new little brother.

I would try feeding the nem thats moving. Sometimes this will help them become satisfied. and I have found they will stay in one spot if your consistent.
