    If my Whites start up the glass when they are all dirty from the coco fiber, they can climb it but slowly slide down. If the go straight from the water dish they stick to the glass and sometimes even sleep above the glass jammed into the ceiling edge.

    So my guess would be the substrate.

    I agree I bet it is the coco fibre making him slip. Once he's dirt free he shouldn't have a problem. With all the soil on him it must be hard to keep the glass clean.

    And now he resides on the floor, I guess she is just disappointed that she cannot climb the wall and all. Let me clean her up a bit and see how it goes

    My Whites are slowly getting more vocal and I'm guessing this is going to cause the relocation of their home since its two feet from my pillow :-)

    Here is a link to some pics after I put in the New Zealand substrate.

    Thanks.
    I want to slowly remove all the plastic vines and such and eventually have nothing but live plants, cork and wood structural materials.


    Now if I can figure out what vines would work to change out my hanging plastic stuff.

    when I first got my tank, i was thinking the bamboo plants that they sell in the chinese supermarkets, but after the careful consideration, i decide to use all fake plants...
