It is totally normal. I don't know why they do it, but they do. I guess they get food particles off the rocks. Anyway, don't let the behavior fool you into feeding him more often. He probably has nothing better to do in there than to look for food so that is what he spends his time doing.

You may find this interesting, but a healthy fish can easily go a whole week without eating.

yes i agree with you miss megham...the more the fish can move the more healthier it is...since he is the only 1 fish in this tank he spent his time to do that.
