new fish help!

by sorin15

Just bought an oscar last night and when I got he was super play full! But once he was in the tank he just went to the bottom and is sitting there. Is he just stress?

We need more details:

How long has your tank been set up with fish (i.e. has the tank cycled)?
How big is the tank and what are your parameter levels?
What other fish are in the tank?
What kind of filtration do you have?

Things like this will help us understand if something is wrong.

maybe it is just stress or is there any other fish bullying it, or maybe you didnt aclimate your fish proply when you put it in, it could be sick, but i doubt that because you said when you got it, it was happy

but give us some more details as miami said
