Do fish sleep spooning?!

[astrofish]

I put these dragonets in an isolation box to train them to eat pellets a few days ago and today I walked in at night… and found them full-on spooning in the corner

I had no idea fish slept cuddled up like this… are mine just weird, or is this actually normal among dragnets?

Ya, I’ve never seen that before!

While I've never caught mine doing this, it appears that yours do in fact spoon

I am highly offended by the posting of this pornographic image that clearly violates the “family friendly” code of conduct required by users of this site.

But seriously, I think that the op should probably add some kind of cover habitat features into the confinement to allow them to get more comfortable in order to encourage them to eat.

I don’t think they are going to eat anything until they have a proper place to relax in the tank?

So true!! I was like aww but poor ruby dragonet (he’s the smallest one) at the bottom

Turns out fish are more human than I thought, ha!

I’ve seen green mandarin couple sleeping spooning once, but trust me I was really surprised this time… Three different dragonet species all spooning each other
