Tex chillin by driftwood all day. Why?

[JESTERX626]

My tex has been inside the driftwood all day not moving, he's in a cave formed by the driftwood, he just looks almost motionless, only keeps his body upright with his two fins. Is there something wrong with him?

When was the last time he ate and how much did he eat.?? Did you test your water just incase??

 

[JESTERX626]

He ate yesterday, maybe he wants to sleep all day? I dunno lol

Yea i'd definetly check your water......sounds like something is gettin to him.......does he have tankmates? and if so are any of them doing the same thing? ..............

 

[JESTERX626]

What does it mean when my tex is breathing hard with his mouth open? What's the usual cause of the problem and how to treat it?

 

[lasgo]

like others have stated, you need to go test your water. Check the ammonia, nitrates, nitrites and PH.
