What a relief! I was very sad when I thought she was gone. She lives in a
planted discus tank and certainly wins the "ugly duckling" award, but I've
grown attached to her all the same. Since the incident, I've been wondering
if she was sick, but she looks fine and has a nice round belly. The discus,
meanwhile, are as bright and beautiful as always. I also wondered if she
might be suffering the effects of old age - she was full-grown when I got
her about two years ago. You woudn't happen to know what the average
lifespan of a bristlenose is, would you?

Anyway, thanks for the reassurance.

this is perfectly normal. It seems that when they get really relaxed in a
tight spot they will let go of whatever they were holding on to and just
lay there right below that spot. No worries
