Rearranging rocks is two-headed sword. If you rearrange Malawi and Tanganyankian cichlds' rocks, you reallu upset the territoriality and they stress out because some, like Frontosas, can spend weeks arranging their rockpiles and tunnels into a semi-permanent home. On the other hand, you'd go nuts rrarranging a pair of Flowerhorn's tank. They put everything where they want it, and if you move something, they always try to move it back to where they put it. My pair has had their Eheim filter lying right over their sleeping depression for 2 months now. Every time I've tried to put it back on the glass, they pull it off and put it back over their sleeping spot. I generally only rerarrange rocks for a new fish that needs a secluded spot, or to break up intense territoriality.
