Settling in or something wrong?

Hi all, hope you are good. Just looking for some thoughts.

Ive had this Honey Gourami now for around 3 days and for the most part he is doing well. Quite inquisitive, doesn't hide much and isn't afraid of people coming to the tank, he's also eating.

He is settling down and for a large portion of the day he's just swimming around but for half an hour yesterday and today he is just glass surfing like in the video. I know the side looks very reflective just he does it even with a black screen on the side.

I know he could just still be settling but wondered what others though as he is my first honey gourami.

My parameters are:

20 Gallon tank, PH 7.3, GH 9, KH 4, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 10-20 so I don't think its parameters, in the video the Chilli and Phoenix Rasboras are quite stationary towards the bottom but they're normally fine and swimming together at the top, the video was just taken towards the end of the day and this is where they sleep.

Any advice from those Gourami owners would be much appreciated.
