Hi everyone!
After upgrading to a 36 gallon tank, my catfish hangs out near the sucking part of the filter and seems frantic for majority of the day. When he’s not by the filter he swims and eats normally. The pet store called him an upside down catfish but he looks more like a featherfin squeaker to us. Attached is a photo but is there a way I can post a video so you see?

Your catfish is a nocturnal species and is trying to hide from the bright light in your tank. You need to provide it with some caves, pvc pipe or driftwood to hide under. Floating plants like Water Sprite, growing on the surface will also help it feel more comfortable. The fish should be kept in a group of 6 or more.
 
We have some caves and rocks with holes in it. Will add some more hiding spots. Thanks!
