So I recently introduced a dwarf gourami female to my Channa Andrao tank.
I currently have one female Channa Andrao with the female dwarf gourami.

Before I introduced the dwarf gourami, my Channa Andrao used to be really social, swim around the tank and be active.
Now, my snakehead hides most of the time. The tank is well planted with a lot of hiding spots.
The snakehead still eats, but I feel like it's eating less since the introduction of the dwarf gourami. Should I be worried here?
Also, my snakehead is bigger than the dwarf gourami. Is this behaviour normal for Channa Andraos? Seems like the snakehead became less social and active after the introduction pretty much.
Any ideas of what's going on?

Cheers.

Could be just unsettled from adding the gourami. Good thing is it’s eating. Would watch for aggression.
