I have 4 fish...we have had them all for about a month or so now. I have never seen any of them sleeping :idea2: Anyone else have fish that don't sleep??

Turn out the lights and quit looking at them.
Maybe they'll sleep, and you too! :idea2:

I have many critters in my saltwater tank that never seem to sleep, especially the little shrimps and starfish. There is also one big powder brown tang that seems to go 24/7/365. I think he's tweakin'! ;)

I never turn the lights on... with our AC not working they would fry in there.
They are still swimming around :jawdrop:
And I am having too much fun on Barneys to turn the computer off :D

We had a couple fish before these..and they would always fall asleep before I would... these fish are on something :idea2:

I'm starting to feel like one of Bre's insomniac fish tonight!

maybe they are staying awake in the hopes you will walk past the tank " Au natural" and they don't want to miss it :jawdrop:

I have a 150 gallon tank in my living room with 2 Pacus that are close to 2' each, they sleep with their eyes open. I have been told this by many pet stores as well. In my sons room he has a 60 gallon with a Red Devil and a Jack Demsey, they both sleep like they are dead, up at the top, then if you open the lid they take off. All fish sleep differently.

They go into a state of lowered brain wave activity, like me when I am on ***boat.........
Not exactly sleeping, but close enough when you happen to live underwater...Bre, how bout a nice pic of your......."fish"....? :p :p :p
