The arowana usually does not sink to the bottom unless the light in the tank is too strong. Because when they sleep, they will choose a dark corner, after choosing a good sleeping position, swimming will become very slow, and activity will be reduced. When they stop in one position, it means that they have entered the state of sleep. When the arowana sleeps, its fins swing slightly to maintain balance, and its gills open and close slightly.
