Well, sometimes my Ramen hides behind the underwater powerhead of the filter.
That's pretty much in the corner of the tank.

Mikey has to swim behind everything, filters, heaters, bubblers, docks, everything. He won't let anything stay suctioned to the walls of the tank.

One of my turtles has more or less been swimming endlessly into the corner of the tank for the last 5+ years. :lol:

My turtles used to hang out in corners when we first got them. I think they like having the walls of the tank on both sides of them. Gives them some security.

Now they have gotten over that and hang out in their tunnel and under the air stone.
