sulking

[zyno]

I redecorated my tank yesterday and my two zonatus appear to be sulking. They are always very active and feed regularly but since I moved things around they just lay around inactive.
Is this normal for this species. I've heard of Oscars sulking but not CA cichlids.
I'm kind of worried about them!

any larger ca cichlid may do that. The larger/older the cichlid the longer it will probably take for it to adjust to the new environment. For just redecorating though I wouldn't expect it to take much longer than a day or 2.
