Standing on theit heads

Post by Tru-Cru »

I am sure we have all seen roach doing this but this year have seen whole shoals doing it.
These are all smallish fish.
Does anyone know what it's all about.

Odd isn't it, I've seen it myself several times when they just hang in the water head down. Maybe their TV is on the lake bed and its the World Cup? Other than that I'm genuinely stumped.

When fish stand on their heads they're sleeping. My minnows do it in my aquarium when the lights are off!! The baby roach were probably all having an afternoon nap! :dancing: :fish:
