Strange Behaviour

stresseddamsel · 10-05-2006, 03:26 PM

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..
