How powerful is the water flow?. It seems to be pushing him around. Either that or he's just a bit weak.

That water flow isn't that strong and its faced upward where he's at there's almost non plus he's under the cave so there is non he does this quite often under the cave I have no clue why he's doing this

One of my Pims has done something similar since I got him almost a year ago. He'll constantly just lay down on a leaf to a plant and look pathetic kind of rocking back and forth. As of now he's never had anything more serious happen. Eats well swims often. Is yours eating well and swimming around?.

So he's a new fish?. May just be slightly weakened by stress.. Not a huge problem with high water quality and a good diet.
