Last night I was looking at my tank with a flashlight and my purple pseudo was wedged in a crevice of a rock sleeping upside down. Today he is acting perfectly normal. What's up with that?

My clown sleeps upside down, while paddling right under the surface.
My blue hippo sleeps whatever which way. I've found it wedged between the opening made by the suction cups of the PH and the glass. Also, I've found my hippo sleeping while being sucked to the strainer of the intake.

I have a clown that sleeps wedged behind a powerhead, head down. Freaked the hell out of me first time I saw him. Thought my $60 onyx clown died. Moved the powerhead and he swam right out, and then back in a few minutes later!
