Heavy sleepers

Semantic Drift · August 11th, 2007

Every morning I wake up and almost have a heart attack when I see my Otos and Cories laying there, not moving, maybe perched on a rock as a lever on its fulcrum. Really unnatural positions for fish that are usually stuck to something or digging around in the gravel. I always fear them to be dead, them having assumed characteristic dead-fish poses.

But then I poke 'em with the net and they wake up, and I am greatly relieved.

Anyway, anyone else have really heavily-sleeping catfish? Anyone else almost buried a catfish alive?

My two spotted corys are lazy bums -- they're the last to get up in the morning, and the last to go to sleep at night.

Resting on their 'fulcrum'. Honestly, what are you like, Semantic Drift? You're like a picturial dictionary. You know a word for everything. I loooooove that.

we need to get a new fulcrum to lie on while watching tv.
