They are not as inactive as some make them out to be. At least the ones I have kept display occasional bouts of activity, which is considerably heightened around feeding time.
They are incredibly smart fish and it's not too difficult to tame them enough to be able to hand feed them. I could swear that mine was smart enough to distinguish me from the different people walking past the tank and swim out in anticipation of food.
