Ive had a UCF for over 3 months and he settled in well with 7 serpae tetras and 6 danios.
For about a week now he hasnt left his cave and doesnt seem to be eating. sometimes i think hes dead but hes just resting when i check. he used to be fairly active but untill recently just wont come out. Any ideas? |

I never see my one, he only comes out at night, and just hides behind thew rocks, I thought mine was dead aswell until I rearranged the tank and there he was swimming around. God knows how he gets food because I never see him eating as much as I try to feed him.

If you've got synodontis eupterus then that tank is too small, growth stunting may cause said behavour.
