Within minuets she is off the bottom and at the surface thinking it is feeding time. I understand the first thought is flukes, but I see no other ill symptoms with her or her buddies. Has anyone else noticed this activity. If she is an early sleeper, she reminds me of myself.

I am noticing the same thing in one of my heated tanks. Maybe they just want to be cold.
