    It would help to have a little more info. What else is in the tank? Watch him closely... any sign of injury? Any lesions on the head or along the lateral line? Any spots, discoloration or mucus? Is he breathing heavy?

    Are the lights out and a window nearby? Fish will orient themselves with their back to the light.
