The fire parrot was found sitting on her side on the bottom - I touched her tail with my net and she moved and now seems "awake"

Was it possible she was sleeping? I'm REALLY concerned and want to cry :cry:

Help
 
Hi, Ramrebel.
I'm really sorry to say this, but I've never seen mine on the bottom, in any position. She's always out swimming around :( I read in your other thread that she's still not eating? If there's a fish/pet store near you, maybe try some live or frozen food to coax her to eat? I don't really know what it could be... I'm sorry.
 
fish do sleep in one form or another>did you turn on the lights in a dark room right before finding it on it's side? does it immediately lay back down on the bottom and stop swimming? :(
