Dead fish returns to life

[ninjamini]

Last night I spotted my 6line dead in a hole in the rock with spider webs around him. I took my feeder and blew a little water his way. He did not move. No eye movement, no flipper movement. He was dead. I would have pulled him out except I had remembered that some fish go to sleep and spin a cocoon around themselves to mask there scent. But I had never seen him do this before.

This morning he was gone from the hole. Swimming around. What a great lesson for the family.

yep, some wrasses and parrot fish do sleep in a cocoon of mucus. its kinda funny when you find them,

keep a eye on that hole, he may return there every night like my wrasse does

My wrassse sleeps in the same hole, at the same time, everyday.You can set your watch to him I swear.

My wife said I have a really big wrasse and I need to go on a diet.

I'll be sitting there tonight with some pop corn watching. That would be cool if thats his new home.
