I have a stealth heater suction cupped to the side of my tank and my hatchling keeps swimming up under it and trying to come up behind it but is too small and swims and swims and I am afraid will drown.... Any ideas??? I have large river rocks on the bottom, can I attach the heater to the bottom and put river rocks against it? Not sure anything should be touching it but thought rocks might be okay???? Please help!

Yes, they can get stuck anywhere :(

Can you just leave it there without the suction cups?
