Just a few minutes ago I turned myself around to watch my GSP. I saw him on the bottom of the tank in a darker corner laying just like a dog when it's sleeping (tail besides him, exactly like a dog..). Anyone seen it before? At first I thought that something was wrong, so inmediatly I went to the tank and when I was about 1 meter away from it.. The GSP kind of waked up and began swimming again. All colors (white belle, fluor-yellow spot on the head, etc) all did come back in about 5-10 seconds.
Is it something to worry or was he really sleeping?? (Now a few minutes later, nothing seems to be wrong or different)

Re: Sleeping GSP..
Yeah, he was probably just sleeping. I've caught my Figure 8's doing it a few times.

Re: Sleeping GSP..
Yeah, that's how they sleep, all curled up. Sometimes if you startle them, they'll have a little trouble straightening out right away too, like their tail went to sleep.

Re: Sleeping GSP..
I used to see it all the time when my GSP was in his starter tank.....ever since we upgraded him, I haven't seen him sleep !!! So, I haven't seen him sleep for over a month!!! Is that weird?
