Answer
Madison,
A black Moor is considered a fancy goldfish. The absolute smallest tank for a goldfish is 20 gallons, but a 30 gallon is best. He also has to have a filter. Goldfish are huge waste producers so the filter has to be for a larger tank. If you get a 20 gallon tank, the filter should be for a 30 gallon at least. He is most likely getting use to his new home. If nothing changes in a few days let me know.
