I have two Indian stars both eat well and poop fine. The younger one is more active. I don’t look at them all day but I was wondering how often they should be moving or how much should they be moving?

Are they housed together? The tank looks a bit dry, I would wet down that substrate. They should be fairly active, but babies sleep most of the day. Are they unactive? If they are housed together, they may be stressed which could lead to unactivity.
