Dogface worries

Post by Walla2GSP »

My dogface has picked up an odd "habit" that is both concerning and puzzling. I am still running two canister flters, a HOB skimmer, and a aquaclear 110 for circulation so I have 5 pickups on the back of my 85. Twice in the last week I have walked into the room to find "Tank" hanging upside down from a pickup, but when I approach the tank to investigate he swims up to meet me. Any ideas why he would be hanging upside down from a pickup just to "chill"? I don't see any other indications that something is wrong and he seems just as active as usual, but it worries me that he might not be able to pull himself off one of these times.

Can't answer why he is doing it. I would put something on there to diffuse the auction though. Small mesh pot or something
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
