Bristlenose behaviour

[sam]

Earlier today my BN was just lying on his back, under a bridge ornament. He's normally attached to something by his mouth so i thought something was wrong. As I put my hand in the tank to move the bridge, he scuttled off and attached himself to the heater.

Should I be worried - I've not seem him like that before?

Mine does that too ocasionally....

Sometimes they stick under the driftwood which is near horizontal. For a minute or two, I can see them detached from the wood, laying upside down (well, for them at least... ) doing nothing! I was worried when I saw it for the first time, but not anymore as these goofy fish does that quite often...

I guess their own weight was too heavy to support or something to that effect...

Thanks for the reply - that's reassuring.
