Is this normal behavior? Fish spending time upside down.

I would say no.
Anything else funny in your tank?
Any other signs of weirdness?
Other fish?
What are your water parameters?
Upside-down isn't normal for most fish ... but for royal grammas, it is.
They're more likely to orient themselves toward the nearest rock or other structure, so if they're in a cave, they may well swim upside-down near the ceiling, for example.

My royal gramma does the same thing and it’s hilarious. It’s like he’s snuggling into the rock upside down.Is this normal behavior? Fish spending time upside down.
UPDATE: My gramma disappeared for 4 days, thought he was a goner. Tested ammonia for a spike and nothing.
So this morning during feeding he just pop outs from a rock, what the heck!! It does look like is tail fin got partially eaten, but he seems to be in okay shape, good color, swimming fine. Of course he went back into hiding but I can see him now, but not able to get a photo. Will his fin grow back, and should I take any precautions?
