Should I help him find the bowl of sand?

i've had a couple that didn't seem to find the bowl of sand for whatever reason, so what i did is just pour some sand in a corner of the tank and they seem to find it 100% of the time

How long should I give it before I do anything?

i mean i don't even try the bowl of sand anymore. does she behave normal? i'd do it immediately, but you could give her a night to figure it out

I just figure it's easier to clean this way with ttm. She's searching the bottom glass a lot, not sure if normal. She's been in the tank 1hr now.

i'm no expert, but 1 hour isn't a long time so you could definitely give it more time. she may be searching for a place to bury, though.

i have a pair of heavy duty suction cups that i like using even on small tanks to help in moving them around, having handles on a tank makes it a lot easier. i'd just drain the tank as much as you can and then go pour it out, but i don't do TTM as i'm too lazy
