I bought these catfish from the petshop. I added 5 of them to my 75 gallon aquairum that is already holding 7 yoyo loaches. What species are they? Also is it normal for them to stop swimming and spend time under drift. Resting? Sleeping? I thought 2 were gonna die (they were laying still under the driftwood) but within a few hours they were swimming around again. Any help would be a appreciated. Thanks.

AFAIK, they should never be laying still on the ground. Assuming they're like the asian glass cats, they won't tolerate ammonia or nitrite (aka, tank cycling) but should be hardy once settled in. I got my asians eating well on live baby brine shrimp, but it didn't take them long to be happy with flake.
