very stupid question

[Eric_marchi]

i was just wondering because i never see my fish stand still. well one of my cichlids and just hanging around in a clay pot ass end out staying still. i thought he was dead but no i tapped on the glass and out he comes. do fish sleep? heheh

[Tolley]

Yup they sure do.

[BillyVille]

[Eric_marchi]

its sounds like a stupid question but it really had me baffled.

[Tolley]

not stupid, many people ask that on here :D

ok now im starting to worry because hes been sleeping most of the day. is this normal. he only comes out of there when i come to the tank. like litterally in total hes been in there for almost 4 hours today sleeping.

[cocoa_pleco]

yep, they sleep, most sleep nose down

I have a couple of frontosa who stay stationary most of the day. There is good water movement past their caves so they just stay there and chill.

[rageybug]

I sleep the same way!

Is it just sitting in there? Or is it waving it's pectoral fins while it's in there? Possible He is a She? Do you have others of the same species?
As said....it is also possible for it to just be "hanging out" in it's new territory. My Kribensis have a cave they stay in most of the time.
