i have a big calico bristlenose boy in a heavily planted/heavily driftwooded 55g with 4 others. The first day in he claimed a spot underneath this rock/driftwood arrangement and lately he has been getting in and and laying upside down. just shifting around to a comfortable position upside down. i thought he was sick but upon closer inspection, i noticed his fins were moving and fanning himself like he was hot. is he sick? tank temp is about 74-75. consistently.
 
i really have no idea, as i do not know the breeding habits of BN's but is it possible u have female BN's and there are eggs in there that he's fanning?
 
does it mean there are eggs or is it just one of their quirky qualities?

sorry i forgot to answer you. yes there is at least one that im sure of is a female. im on the line about another. the other two are still too young to tell.
 
It's normal. My male does it all the time as well. Below are a couple old pics of him doing it..

My male does that all the time under his driftwood...I think it's so the other fish know he's alive & to leave him alone, LOL.
