How long have you had this little fella? He might still be adjusting to his new home. Otherwise has anything traumatic happend in the tank lately? Possibly a big water change?
Personally I think he's just scared atm. During a water change or if I'm doing anything in general where my aro feels trapped, he'll sit at the bottom and not move, which is good because I wouldn't want him to jump during the water change, lol. But um, my aro usually gets over it by the time I'm done. I'll leave and turn off the lights and back up he goes. They get spooked real easy, especially at that size. Maybe someone tapped the glass or one of your pets hit the tank?
yeah your right when i try to get close he just drop down....but RIGHT NOW he is up at the top sooooo i hope he gonna be OK ill keep my eyes on him. THANK
It looks like your tank is on the ground? That could very well be the reason why. Being a surface dweller, when the aro notices you walking by or something approaching from above, he may feel threatened and retreat to the bottom until he feels safe. Survival instinct. Is he eating at all?
