Lake Malawi Species • Funny yellow lab behavior

[ironspider]

I now have 5 yellow labs, two adult males and recently picked up 3 juveniles.

The adults have always liked to hang out in the fake plants, sometimes looking like they are laying down. Sometimes horizontal, but mostly vertical. After picking up the juveniles, they do it too, less so but they still do. No other fish in the tank has this behavior. It's only the yellow labs.

Is this a yellow lab thing, trying to look invisible? Or just their way of "chillin out?"

A couple of my yellow labs do exactly the same, especially when holding like to chill vertically in the bottom of one of the fake plants. As you mentioned no other species in the tank does it except the labs.
