Question
hey chris i just brought a black more yesterday and he seemed to be fine at first but now he keeps swimming slowly on the bottom of the tank and finding a little spot behind something and just lying still? am i doing something wrong?

Answer
Hi Elise;

He may just be relaxing in his new home. Fish don't move constantly 24 hours a day and will settle in as they adjust. You didn't mention the size of his tank or if he has other tank mates. If he is being bullied or the tank is pretty small he may be experiencing stress. Let me know what size the tank is and who he shares it with so we can be sure he is doing okay...
