I'm out in the living room for another sleepless night and again my naso is out slowly swimming around the tank. Last night she was out all night long. Lights have been off for hours and there's just enough light from my power strip to make out her shape. I've had her 10 years but this insomnia is new to me so I can't really say this is new behavior but I've not seen her out and about when I've done spot checks in the middle of the night once in a while. I'm not worried but curious if others have fish that don't rest. I guess she has insomnia too.
 
I've never kept a tally to know for sure, but I *think* all my fish are tucked in even before the lights go out sometimes. Like you I don't know as much for sure about what happens in the middle of the night, but this is my observation and thinking.
 
My clowns never sleep, not matter what time of night I come downstairs, they are always swimming in their goni's, it never ever stops. In the 7 years I've had them I've never seen them sleep.
