I think he just liked he light in the room. They don't want to be in the dark all the time. For him being still he was probably asleep. They usually sleep on the bottom of the tank or resting on a plant in the tank. I wouldn't worry about it he probably doesn't know who he is swimming around.

Who is the one that's feeds the fish the most? That's really all they care about and they can tell who does that the most. I have one that goes up and down on feeding day and if I'm in the room and still don't feed him he will go down hit the barbels come up and keep doing that until I feed him.
