You don't need eyelids to sleep. And yes, they sleep.

So, Matt, what was the result of this presumed "attack"?!? 8o)

 

[matt]

nothing bad because I got the snail off in time but for some reason he got fungus a few days latter???

The closest common name I can come up with is "guppies". I'm in Australia so I don't know if they would be known as anything else elsewhere.
I do not feed him these often, actually very rarely.

I hope axy's sleep!!!!!
Otherwise mine plays dead alot of the time i.e when his gills are very pale.

 

[matt]

I dont know what you mean by gills pail but axys do sleep without eyelids

 

[andrew]

so how do u know if they're asleep? in the morning my axy's gills are pale which could be from just waking up or something.

 

[matt]

I dont know eactly but they are usauly asleep if you drop a piece of food in the tank and the food lands on their head and they dont move

 

[andrew]
