Found my BN asleep on the job the other day... or so it seems. He likes to hang on the bottom of the driftwood above him in the picture... apparently he fell asleep or something and lost his grip? I don't know, I just found it funny, because his mouth is stuck in that "sucking on something" mode. He's just lying there on his back, seemingly oblivious to what's going on. Yes, he's breathing normally, I checked... and he looks fine today.

He possibly either went to sleep or in a rest state and just fell off.
If there was any bubbles coming from him,I would say he would have been snoring. Yes/No
Good photo as usual

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

My clown pleco does this exact same thing all the time!! It gave me a scare the first time I saw him do it, but now I just get a good laugh out of the lazy little guy! Great Pic!

My favorite BN who recently passed away used to do this all the time

~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is water at the bottom of the ocean

No bubbles, keith... guess he doesn't snore.

I saw him a little while later as he attacked his piece of algae wafer. He saw me staring at him from a few inches away and did this great betta impression: he flared out his gills and spread his fins, for all the world as if he were doing a betta impression.

Lo and behold... we've got bristles! Some very small bristles, but bristles nonetheless... my baby's growing up! I didn't know they had spikes... like a few spikes to protect the sensitive membranes protuding from the gill covers.

I've got to go have a talking to my betta girls... what do they think they're doing, going around teaching my baby BN tricks like that?!

Oh, and this is the first time I've ever seen him do this... I'd read someone else's thread on the subject, so I didn't flip out when I saw him like that. I just made sure he was breathing okay, then went searching for the camera.

Silly pleco

have you had a word with your girls yet?

Kitten: Don't be alarm, my fella does this quite offen. I think its what they do when they get bigger. They get lazy. Or it could be all the hard work they get upto during the night time hours, when we are not up to seeing. ***Tiger

When they get bigger, eh? So this is just the start of it? I haven't had him that long, and he's mostly grown broader, not terribly much longer, since I've gotten him. He's maybe two inches at the most, about as big as the smallest betta girl in the tank, actually.

Today he was chowing down on a slice of zucchini and some shrimp pellets I dropped in for the cories... didn't know he'd go after the pellets. He seemed to be enjoying the zucchini... never seen him dig into it like that before. Maybe it's another "comes with age" deal. I've seen him nibble before, but not spend over half an hour sucking on the veggie. We'll have to see what other veggies he likes now, as he's settled in to the tank nicely and seems to be getting more adventurous with his fooding habits.

He would love some pumpkin. ***Tiger

I can also hand feed my fella frozen blood worms. I put my fingers with some frozen worms near his head, and he leeps onto my fingers. The first time he did this, he scared the daylights out of me.]

Mine always does it, just lies on his back suckin on nothing

Would be like us going to sleep in bed and waking up on the ceiling
