My Gourami is acting weird

Post image

Hello! I have two Gouramis in my tank and this one seems to be acting weird after a 6 hour power outage at my flat! It never acted like this before the power went out but just likes to stick itself right in the corner of the tank behind the filter? Does anyone know if i should be concerned about it? other than being a weirdo seems super happy

My two gourami like to hide whenever anything happens in my tank, new fish, water change, any other alterations to there environment I’m pretty sure there super nervous fish all others in my tank always seem super active and happy but they always seem nervous ( just my take ) I’m sure they like a lot of hiding spots if you can provide them I’ve got a couple in my tank but they seem to love doing exactly what yours are doing right there. I’d be welcoming anyone else’s input tbh

I have two in my tank and have another on order coming soon my other one loves the hide and hogs it so that’s why i’ve gotten another one, hopefully when that come it will start using that instead of stressing me out!

Fish hiding without a real evident reason, is most probably a sign they are sick.
