He's acting normal and very playful with the bubbles. He likes swimming up and down the tank. He's constantly picking up sand and throwing it back out. Not sure if just looking for food. He never really lost his appetite or anything. He kept eating and pooping whenever fed.
I'm not sure what is considered abnormal?
One thing I saw is that during the night he develops the stress bars across the top of his head and body and becomes quite lethargic.
The stress bars occured prbbly because he is stressed out. not comfortable with the environment. i do small water changes every 2days until his stress is gone. play and interact with him more so tht he gains trust with you. at night time, how is his surroundings? the lighting? too bright light can cause stress but thats all in procedure of getting ur fh to get used to the environment. but we have to minimise to possible causes of stress to him. try to figure out why ur fh gets stressed at night. i usually turn on his lights before dark. this prevents from shocking him
