Hi,
I have a maybe very trivial or unnecessary question:
I'm keeping a group of 1 year old tylos in a well established 200l tank and had no issues so far. For the most part of the last year, all 4 were very active, always begging for food and really really good eaters. However, in the last 2-3 months their behavior changed pretty drastically. They aren't as active and eat a lot less, sometimes nothing at all. I went from feeding them every 2-3 days to now only once a week. They also sit in dry places more often than they used to.
Is that a normal behavior for those animals during the winter (temperatures went down from ~24°C to ~17°C)? I know that they are supposed to be a little less active but I never experienced such a massive change before.
I'm pretty sure I'm overreacting, it would just be great to get someone elses opinion on that...

Thanks in advance!
