Upside Down Catfish

[Robbo25]

Ive had a UCF for over 3 months and he settled in well with 7 serpae tetras and 6 danios.
For about a week now he hasnt left his cave and doesnt seem to be eating. sometimes i think hes dead but hes just resting when i check. he used to be fairly active but untill recently just wont come out.
Any ideas?

What size of tank u have? It can probably be sick.

have you checked the water parameters if there ok it might be the food as there known to go of there food for no reason,try switching feeds and good luck

or it could just be a mood swing mine goes funny occasionaly for no reason

I never see my one, he only comes out at night, and just hides behind thew rocks, I thought mine was dead aswell until I rearranged the tank and there he was swimming around. God knows how he gets food because I never see him eating as much as I try to feed him.

If you've got synodontis eupterus then that tank is too small, growth stunting may cause said behavour.

i'm having similar probs with my udc, but my tank is 250 ltrs in size so that cant be the reason.
