I recently moved Deliverance, my banjo catfish, from an semi-agreesive 70 gallon tank to a passive 30 gallon.

In the 70 gallon, he would stay in one spot for days and I would have to place food directly in front of him so he could eat.

In the 30 gallon, he spends most of his time at the top of the tank, playing dead. I assume he is eating, but haven't seen him do so in a while.

Is this behaviour normal?

Thanks,

PF

do you mean they are floating on the surface of the water? i've never seen my banjos do anything like that and don't worry about them not eating, i often don't see my banjos for weeks, let alone see them eat
