What, above and beyond all and everything, are you doing at 2 in the morning in front of the tank???
When I know that, I'll guide you through the aros sleeping patterns.....

MistirE;845676; said:I was just wondering if anyone here has seen their arowana in a sleeping state? I walk by my aro tank at 2 in the morning and my aro is swimming like it daylight......just when and how do they sleep?
arowana probably sleep in intervals, short naps, but even in a sleeping state they are 100% aware of there surroundings, so it may appear that they are awake.
i don't know about arowanas sleeping.. but i saw Pinky absolutely still for the first time today.. lol.
lol, whats with the duplicate thread? Look at the 3am video thread just a few posts down... same exact subject... And I'm quite nocturnal, and have a night glow light on my tank to see my tsn and rtc x tsn when they're active at night, and my jardini never stops moving. Only time s/he stops is to hide when my hands are in the tank doing a water change.
I have caught my aros sleeping many times.....
In the morning, when I turn on the room lights, they don't wake up for another 1/2hour. They are still swimming at the surface like normal, but seem to be in a trance....they startle easy at that time....I think they can't see you well, but notice the shadows....you have to approach the tank slowly...
You can place your hand in front of them, and they almost bump into it.....you could also very carefully touch them lightly, and they don't even twitch.
I have also caught them like this in the afternoons.
