Laziest fish ever?

I have a spotted Raphael cat tjat we got from the lfs a few months ago. We were told he was 25yrs old, and brought in by a guy getting out of the hobby.

This fish never moves! Ever! Hes attached himself to hidden spot in our drift wood piece and has been there since we got him. I even reached in once and made sure he was alive.

Anyone else have incredibly lazy fish?

Umm I can TRY to get some. Hes in an awkward place in the wood, and I dont like messing with him honestly. I'm happy to keep him happy and healthy for as long as he keeps going! If nothing else ill be doing a large water change soon and he will have to rmove down the wood to stay in watwr- ill get one then!

All but two of my past Rapheals had hid like this. The two that didn't were absolute pigs. I can't even describe how fat they were in relation to their 5" length. As soon as food hit the floor they were out in the open stuffing themselves.

We have 2 striped Raphaels too that act the same way! They hide until foods out, they fight other swimmer fish for flakes even!

Btw he won't move even if you take his ornament out of the water, they just extend and lock their pectoral fins and start croaking.

he'll croak? Well thats awesome, ha! Ive never had one do that! Last time we dropped it real low he let go and hid under wood, then went right back to his little claimed area! Id love to hear/see that!
