She arrived here about a week ago. She was very active and curious despite being shipped overnight across the country, and settled right in once I got her in the tank. Lately, she’s been pacing in the front a lot. I do sometimes catch her in other areas and in the little hiding spots.

I never really see her rest. She has tall plants and a mushroom shelf near the top, but she just never seems to stop swimming, even when the light is dimmed/off.

She’s very responsive to my presence/voice. I just didn’t anticipate her to be so front and center most of the time 😂

Is all of this normal? Thanks in advance for any help!
