Just kidding, of course, but one of my juvie's really does seem to have some sort of sleep disorder. I have three juvenile S. Erectus that I ordered at the same time from the same source and they've been doing really well for several months. But for the past four days when I'm doing my twice-daily feedings of frozen mysis the female doesn't come running when I tap on the glass (my signal that food has arrived and come on out and get it!) So of course I start searching the tank for her and have found her, eight times now, lying down on the sand looking very dead. So I get the net to retrieve her body and when I move her she kicks into action, starts swimming strong and fast, and acts ravenous as she snicks up a bunch of food. Next feeding, same thing, for four days now. Always lying down looking dead until I nudge her and then she perks up and eats. She looks fine - no marks or lesions or signs of illness.
No, I haven't removed her and quarantined her - I'm afraid the stress of that would do her in and I really don't know what to treat her for at this point.
Any thoughts?
