As I walked past my fish tank, I noticed my Ancistrus cirrhosus laying in an inverted manner. He appeared to have undergone the complete and permanent cessation of all vital functions and respiration appeared to have ceased. Now I will translate. LOLOL

My bristlenose appeared to be a goner and sleeping upside down in the middle of the tank. Just as I got a hold of him, he took off like a bat scaring the beans out of me. I've seen him sleeping under rocks, under wood and under plants. Never saw him upside down in the middle of the tank sawing wood before.

Thanks for the translations Appreciate the simplicity

Glad your fish is okay. My BN scared me yesterday, too. I think she'd been sucking on the underside of the driftwood (it's only about a 1/2 inch off the substrate where she was) and I think she must have fallen asleep and dropped to her back and just stayed there.
My heart stopped when I saw her because I thought she was a goner. She wasn't out in the middle of the tank like yours, but still, it was something to see.

This is a new thing for plecos... i have never once seen this.. Maybe they went to "sleep" and lost suction?

that's what I'm thinking happened with mine. The wood was only a 1/2 inch from her mouth. I think she dosed off and dropped, was comfy and stayed there. She's absolutely fine now.

That is just funky!

Excellent example to demonstrate phosfluorescently creating collaborative models to appropriately synthesize information sharing processes

And I'm glad you pleco is OK

Yeah. What they said 'cause I'm just fresh out of hypothesisessssssss

Never saw so many big words on a fish forum in my life before today. I wouldn't even be able to spell hypothesis if I wouldn't have copied and pasted it.

My BN sleeps all the time upside down but never all by himself with nothing around him. His mouth was wide open in the sucking position so maybe he did just fall asleep and fall over.
