So I have one foot long silver aro in a 125 tank. Lately he (I assume its a he but I don't know how to tell) seems to be spending a lot of time on the bottom of the tank, just kind of chillin'. Is this something I need to be worried about? He's the largest fish in the tank, and I feed him pellets, dried krill, and raw shrimp.

Nothing to worry about they do this from time to time. You can try a powerhead that blows past where he likes to lay, and that can help.

as wyld said, its not a problem if he do this for some times. my aro do it specially after HEAVY FEEDING. however if u notice this kind of behavior very often, u better oughta check ur water paramaters.

It isn't necessary if the tank is open, but when mine did it he decided to hide behing a piece of wood. THis actually stop him from hiding there, plus now he no longer lays on the bottom at all.
