Strange Behaviour

[stresseddamsel]

I have a cuban hogfish, a dogface puffer, 2 lions, a niger trigger, and a red grouper in a 44g that are acting very weird!!!!! The cuban hogfish is laying next or on top of every one in the tank. and Then I find that, the trigger, grouper and hogfish are all lying next to each other (actually on top of each other) on the tank floor!! Is this a normal behaviour for these fishes????? I also have found the hog fish sleeping on top of the lionfish!!!! There are always three fishes sleeping together.

Dude that sounds like ALOT of fish for a 44 g tank... I know the tank isnt big enough for the trigger alone. Your probably stressing the fish out..

Thanks that may be it. My LFS told me that is was plenty of room.
