    I've noticed my blue hippo "sleeps" between the suction cup mount and back of a Koralia powerhead. Kind of like a hammock. Dunno if this is normal or not, but looks kind of funny, so thought I'd share.

    I tried to get a pic this morning, but she only does it when all the lights are out. As soon as the moonlights turned on, she was outta there...::)

    I'll post a pic when I get one... lol.

    Very normal, Mine lays in the corner up on top or the return pipes for my closed loop. some of the time its tail is sticking up completely out of the water.

    Other times it lays down inside a large 1/2 clam shell I used to use feeding my seahorses, it has a magnet on it which I use to hang it from the glass. Looks funny as heck just hanging there in mid air sleeping.
