Dojo Loach.

One of my Wally World Dojo's looked like he was almost dead. He rolled on his side when I swirled the water over him and seemed to be gasping.
I got out a plastic tupperware, and my net and was thinking of putting him in the frezer to end his misery. When I went to net him, he suddenly came alive, rushe to the top of water for a gulp of air and back to the bottom and is moving along the bottom now, breating normally. As compared to the other 2.
Do they play dead? Is it possible, or is he just prolonging the inevitable?

To answer my own question lol. Yessssssssss they do play dead!
Its amazing. I came home from work tonight, and threw in some blood worms
and they came out of nowhere, hangng from the plants and grabbing food in mid-air. A complete miraculous recovery. I am amazed, lucky I didnt freezer the actor! I named him Richard. (Richard Burton) :dance
