Sometimes I see similar guys crawling on the sarr's. They don't seem to do any obvious harm.

This guys are the best thing anyone can have in an aquarium. Cheers Xavier

could be a "mini dormancy", if you can't find anything that's causing the problem, you might have to just wait til conditions get better and see if it's just a case of them getting a bit tired, maybe-
That mass-feeding of crickets might also be having a bit of a delayed effect and be partly responsible, too

I think if it's rotting leaves it's something else. Although my VFT's never went into dormancy on their own, just got sort of sad looking after a few years.

Hope it helps! Cya

well.....the nematodes are coming in either case...I might as well use them. I will see if the prospect of dormancy comes up...I have no problems of putting them in. However, I would prefer it to stay out all season and go in in september.
