concrEETdonkey Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 So on Saturday I picked up a Leopard Wrasse from Cuttlefish, and so far she has been going to bed by around 6pm, even though my lights dont turn off until 9:30... unfortunately I dont get home from work until after 6pm. so... Is it possible to somehow change their sleep pattern? Or will she eventually change to my light settings? Currently its been impossible to feed her... Also would be nice to get to see the fish I purchased lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Mine like it's sleep it is always the first to bed most of the time a hour or to before the lights go out and is always the last to get up. They do adjust eventually tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Mine all took some time to adjust to their current sleep regiment, but now wake up by 8am and go to bed at 8-8:30pm. I think as they get more comfortable, they will be out more. They become like clockwork once they're established in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantanewtank Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Are leopard wrasse considered difficult because its hard to get them to eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuttleFishandCoral Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I would give it some time. That fish has been in for 3 or 4 weeks and the lights at the shop go off at 6pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlu_gt Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 When I first got mine, also from Jeff, it would only eat 1mm size pellets. I tried frozen small shrimps, fish eggs, but wasn't untill I put pellets that it started eating. Now, it eats like a pig, eats everything...frozen shrimps, fish eggs, pellets, and flake food.

concrEETdonkey Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Yeah I noticed she was awake when I woke up at 730am, so I flipped the lights on and fed her then... figured Ill just keep doing that until she decides to stay up later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
