.Hello does jardini moves up and down motion? Some times .when no one is around the tank And gets normal. When he gets attention to us or turn the lights on ? Please helpp me...
 
How old is it and how long have you had it? Tank size? In any case sounds like it could be stressed (and esp. young Aros can be quite spookish about light changes). A video would be helpful and then perhaps easier for members to give feedback.

He about 2 months old 5" . Tank size 4ft x 1.5 x1.5 . I cant take a video because when i go near to the tank the jardini acts as nothing happened. And acts normal..but when lights are of and no one is there around the tank he starts moving straight up and down . Please healp me . And thanks for the response

Apparently he doesn't like the darkness -- just like my Gold Xback, who I have to keep a light on all night on 1/3 of his tank, otherwise he starts swimming crazy all over the place if I make his tank too dark. My Blue Base is ok with a dark tank. So try giving him at least some kind of small night light that partially lights at least part of the tank and see if that relaxes him.
