Hey everyone I recently purchased an orange shoulder tang along with a gold rim. They are currently in 55gal quarantine with 5 other small fish. They are all doing great.. My orange shoulder settled in quickly and wants to eat every speck it sees. As of today I noticed every now and then he keeps jumping at the surface of the water. Not jumping out more like surfing. Does this seem normal for a new tang. He eats heavily and water levels are in check. Any ideas? I've posted video below

This is going to turn quickly.


Most orange shoulders I'm familiar with do a weird thing where they gulp air and make bubbles from the surface.

Video isn't playing. You may want to host it through YouTube.
