Weird behavior

I'm getting another tank tonight and once it's filled and cycled I'm separating the breeds so I will get more tiger barbs once they are seperated

i was asking about the platys and light beacuse almost all my fish sleep on the sand of my tank when the light is off, i was thinking that you turned the light on and they were on the bottom sleeping.

Multiple tank syndrome or a type of snail. I'm talking about the tank version

Now it's just the one female. She lays on the bottom a lot but still swims around. She's eating like normal. Not acting sick just being weird lol

Several of my younger mollies tend to do the same thing... Kinda like horses.. sometimes they prefer to sleep standing up, sometime lying down. I run 4 hr light cycles with a 3 hr break, mine usually only do it during lights-out.
