Hi, I've read about floppy tail being caused by cresties resting vertically with their head down and their tail flopping over. What can I do to prevent this? I have provided my cresties with plants to hide in, sticks, vines and PVC tubing at the top of the tank and yet they still spend quite a bit of time stuck on the glass or the background head down!
Is floppy tail a serious concern? Is there anything else I can provide them with?
Thanks

there's not much you can do to stop them resting in that position but I don't think it's down 100% to that but more diet related while growing. Give plenty of dusted food while growing and try CGD too.

I feed them on dusted crickets and CGD, so hopefully they should be okay. Thanks
