I have three very active goldfish (two Orandas and one Ranchu), but the
fourth (another Ranchu) likes to hang out by itself in the corner of the
tank. When fed, it'll join the others, otherwise it'll just hang out in the
corner. Is there anything wrong or do some fish prefer to be by themselves?

I just added another fish today (total of 5 in a 55 gallon tank) and the new
fish gets along with the three active ones.

I made a change this weekend that may have had an effect: I put a
proper tank lid and light on the tank. Prior to this, I had a light
mounted nearby the tank, with an older tank lid. This weekend I went
and got a light that sits directly over top of the tank. The extra
light seems to have perked them up.

Also, I find moving their decorations around a little week to week
keeps them a little more interested in their surroundings.
