Angels asleep???

[Angels among us]

I have just recently gotten back into the hobby and black veiled angels are my show stoppers. Backwater scenery - stump, grasses, slate, rocks, etc.

I picked up six as babies and they all have been growing and happy.

Last night I happened to look in on them in the middle of the night and they were all spread out on the bottom. Some flat down on the gravel and a couple propped upside down against some rocks :thud:

Before I could turn on the lights they woke up and are fine, but they scared the **** outta me!!! I have never noticed this before outside of bottom dwellers.

I do have a lot of circulation in the tank. Maybe the others can hover and sleep but the angels have too much drag???

Anybodys Angels crash out like this? :huh:

well, to me that is very odd....mine seem to be in suspended animation at night..fins all erect and floating midwater. any other strange behavior? can you turn down you current for a trial run to see if they still do this?

Yes, I plan on turning it down a bit to see. No other odd behavior. They are very active and hungry all the time.

They are my favorites.

Thank you. I found it very odd also... Dave
