    I went downstairs and found him breathing hard in the corner. Not sure if he can move, he is moving his eyes and his coloring looks nice but he has me freaked out. Last night he was eating but acting a little more skittish than normal. I had to resist the urge to pull him from the tank. Non of the other fish seems the least bit phased and not one appears to be picking on him

    What should I be doing?

    Lol, was just going to reply this seems normal. They have a different sort of behavior. I would say like a puppy. What size?

    How big of a tank is this in and what type of filtration do you use?
