those are perfect hiding spots! the rotala and hygrophila create natural mazes, while the rocks provide secure shelter. finding them behind the pre-filter shows they have good survival instincts - they're seeking out quiet, protected areas with gentle water flow.
your aquascape design has inadvertently created an ideal nursery environment. the varied plant textures and hardscape elements give them multiple retreat options. keep monitoring these spots gently - you might find more survivors.
