Hey guys, I have mostly had Arowanas and fairly new to FH. As you might know, Arowanas never stop moving, they are really active., and I find that normal.But are FHs the same? I find that my FH is not very active. I know he is new to the tank, but he seems to be active only when chasing my pleco around or if someone is near tank. Otherwise he is mostly still, hovering at the same spot, or moving around the tank very very slowly and once in a while taking a swim across the tank. But he eats well and plays well when am near the tank. He is around 7-8 inches long.Is this normal? Or are FH supposed to be active 24x7 like Arowanas? I know they play with decorations etc, but is this done most of the time?Please help out if you keep healthy FHs. :)
 
I find my fh calm until you come up to the tank. Mine personally tries to bite anything that touches the acrylic. But from the other side of the room hes constantly just relaxing in his favorite spot. Your fh seems to be normal

Heres a picture of him trying to get a piece of me lol
