Hi - I got a firefish on Friday and he was acclimated over 2 hours, has been swimming around and eating well, but today is lying down in a rock cave. Is this normal?? He was swimming this morning, now just seems to be on his side. Help!!!

OK, he came out at feeding time and ate well and looks generally great. He keeps returning to his cave and sort of lying down. Is this normal behavior?? thanks... I love this guy and want to make sure he's OK.

everything's fine. amm 0 , nitrites 0 , pH 8.2, SG 1.023, temp 79
I have 2 percs that are fine and now the firefish is out swimming around again. Maybe he's picked that cave as his hangout??

can anyone shed light on this behavior? I've done a search on firefish, but haven't found a thread addressing this particular question. Thanks...

i believe firefish will find a cave and call it their own. its probably also just shy from getting thrown into the great big world called your fish tank :)
