Message: <blockquote data-quote="katiekatelyn" data-source="post: 28986" data-attributes="member: 2931">Is the substrate moist? Because rose hairs like dry substrate. It's not unusual for a T to remain hidden. I have a cobalt blue sling that I have seen only once since I got it 4 months ago. You definitely don't have to change the substrate exactly every six months, especially since it should stay dry with only a water dish. Cleaning out the food remains should be enough for tank maintenance. Don't worry about your T. I don't think its in premolt this soon, my first T was a rose hair, about the same size as yours, and in three years it only molted once. Welcome to the group!</blockquote>
