blenny sleeping vertically

I know this picture is pretty terrible but I caught my harptail blenny sleeping last night pressed into the corner of the tank.

 

lol mine did that all the time. never seemed to be a problem.

 

Ya he's out and about this morning no worries at all. I have never seen a fish do that before tho

 

This is definitely pretty normal for them. You may want to consider adding some kind of large shell for him to sleep in. A conch shell works but there are many shapes and sizes of shells he might like as a home. I have found blennys just love to sleep in them.Just make sure you burp the air out of it when placing it in the tank.

 

I can definetly do that. Thank you for the advice.

 

No problem. You could even use half a clam shell leaned against something.Good luck with it. They are such characters.;D

 

My YWG never sleeps outside of one of his caves. My clowns however...they've been sleeping in a vertical position lately since I added a couple of corals. Quirky characters, these fish.

 

Nothing to worry over. I have a blenny that does the same and my yellow watchman goby also does this.

 

My clowns do that too. Except they "sleep" head down.

 

blennies love mexican turbo snail shells
