when i come in at night and turn my tank light on
they all jsust seem to sit there and not move even when
iv feed them they just ignore the food

what could be causing this

is the tank light of all day, i've found my fish do this if the lights have been of for a long time, but mines usually over the w/end if we are away

Yes i agree as when I first got my tank, light was on bout 12hrs a day an I was told to only have light on bout 8-10 hrs a day apart frm the odd occasion when you forget.
