A royal gramma that has been in my aquarium almost from the beginning has recently been acting "strange". She was eating but hiding in a cave that has been hers since she became a resident. All water parameters test fine. She appeared to be stressed due to the fact that the cleaner shrimp started using that area as his "parlor", and the flame angel would meet up with the shrimp for his cleaning. She (the royal gramma) started staying in the cave almost exclusively, except to eat. I have not seen her for 24 hours and am afraid she is gone. Question: should I have done anything such as re-arrange the rocks to make her "happy" ?
