Sleeping or sick?!

Post by lunarflame »

OMG.. im worried. I got my puff a few days ago, and a moment ago, I saw him floating at the top of the tank with his tail curved sideways. He was just floating around.. I thought he was dead.. I went to take a photos and the flash made him go back to normal. I also caught him doing this once before under an ornamental cave..

so is this how they sleep, or is it a sign of illness?

Most likely he was sleeping if he sprang back to life with the camera.

yeah, hes fine now. Someone else said that it was more likely boredom than sleeping.. but I really think he was sleeping...

he's got lots in his tank, a cave/log, 2 plants and a nice current..
