Hi,
I have had 2 fantails for about 4 years now. All they seem to do is want to eat and are very friendly little chaps, they always come over to the corner of the tank when you enter the room as to say HI or just looking for you to feed them again.. lol...
However a few days ago I noticed they keep lying on the bottom of the tank as though they are resting but if you shake some food at them they come up to the surface again. Yesterday though when I came downstairs in the morning the one was lying on the bottom and would NOT come up to the top when I was about to feed him and in 4 years that has never happened before. The other one came up to have 2 pellets only, but what concerns me is why they keep lying on the surface and why did the one not come up for his food this morning when normally first thing in a morning they are going crazy for you to feed them.
Please help and thanks
Richard
