5x expansion, date, length, content and image are fine. The only problem is with the hook. The article, as far as I can see, does not mention that the fish sleeps upside down. The reference to its adopting unusual positions mentions sleeping, but the article does not, and I believe it needs to for DYK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:20, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

And while you are making changes, why not put the image upside down. It would be quite striking! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:20, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Haha, apologies. It's word play. "Upside down sleeper" is a common name, not a reference to its sleeping habits. Members of the family Eleotridae are commonly known as "sleepers" or "sleeper gobies". Perhaps I should mention it as an alternate common name in the lead? Or maybe we should link sleeper to Eleotridae? And naw on the image heh, though there is a video of it included in the external links section. :) -- Obsidi♠n Soul 07:43, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I've done both. -- Obsidi♠n Soul 07:48, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
