I swear this fish swims constantly back and forth from one end to the other all day and all night. i understand that this type of snappers nature is to actively swim and stay towards the top of the water column but i never see him sitting still, hes constantly pumping his tail and moving. i feed him more than the others as he does burn a lot of cals from all this swimming but can anyone explain how he can be so active and not rest.
thanks

Tagging along on this thread.

I find the same to be true of my Moorish Idol, PJ Cardinal and Banggai Cardinal. Can anyone confirm if this is normal?

Thanks.
