I posted a couple weeks ago and got no response, so I thought I would update with a follow up question.
My black leopard wrasse is still doing good, but still acting "odd", but it's my first leopard so maybe it's not odd after all.
He eats prepared food (LRS fish frenzy) soaked with anything I choose to add to it, which is good. My tank is teaming with pods and he hunts constantly in addition to eating prepared.
But his sleeping pattern is WEIRD. He comes out for about 6 - 8 hours.....per 3 days.
Almost like clockwork he stays down for 2 days, then comes out...eats like a pig and goes back to sleep for 2 days. It's been this way for the last 2 weeks.
And interestingly, the more/faster I feed him...the faster he goes back under. If I wait to feed him and just let him hunt all day, he will stay out pretty much all day (on that 3rd day) but if I feed him a bunch, he may only stay out 3 or 4 hours and crash.
Is this normal? So far he seems like a big lazy couch potato of a fish. lol
