He is just napping. They can nap for 2-3 days at a time. Their sleep is different. They can be awake for a week or more then nap a few days or just randomly cat nap. I would not be concerned. If you recently fed him some thing super yummy he’s probably in a food coma.

i dont think he has eaten super recently.

this is actually funny, i was just doing HW for my language class, where we are discussing sleep and dreams.

thanks for the advice!

though i tried to get him out with food, so now the platies and cories are all swarming around the wafer...

update: looks like he woke up!

Looks like a nap to me. 🙂
Mine nap every few hours. But especially with full tummies
