Oh man, something like that happened with me when I worked at Petc0...
I was netting a redtailed shark for a customer, and I plunked the net into the tank. The shark starts bugging out, and rams itself headfirst into the gravel. The customer and I watch, stunned, as the fish slowly floats up, apparently dead. We looked at each other..."Did...did he just kill himself?"
I caught another one without incident. After the customer left, I checked the tank, and the shark was fine! Playing dead, I guess...sneaky little guy
