It may be a little stressed because of not having any place to hide. You may want to try using a Tera Cotta pot with a small hole in the side as a place for it to hide and feel secure. Flashers are a little skittish to begin with but when they become settled in are much more bold.

The flow you have should be fine. Give him/her some hiding places. Place some cut pvc pipe in the tank for hiding places.
