Bristle Nose Behaviour ...

[Number 1 Jasper]

My bristle nose sometimes lays on his side / back ...he has done this pretty much since we first got him , so i am not overlyconcerned , but if someone could tell me that it is normal behaviour , it would help put my mind at reast , we have had him about 7 months now.........

Hi,

I've seen my biggest male and female do this, the male when he sucks underneath the filter will fall off and lay upside down still sucking. The female does it with the sword plants and lays under them upside down. Not seen any juvies do it though, what size is your bristlenose?
