I'm pretty worried about one of three endlers I just bought. After a traumatic bagging, I floated the bag into my tank for an hour. After this hour, I took the top of it and submerged it, letting the fish swim out of their own accord. One fish darted to the back, flicking up gravel trying to bury itself. This is the one I'm worried about. It's hidden itself behind a pile of rocks and is breathing very fast.
I just went up to check on it, and it was swimming around behind the rocks as though trapped. I lifted one rock and moved it away so it could definitely get out, but by that time it was just resting on the gravel again.
The other two seem to have settled in instantly, eating bits of algae on the gravel but staying together.
Is there anything I can do to help? I obviously don't want to disturb it too much as I really don't want to loose him. Will it have just been the bagging and move into the new tank that made him this way?
Thank you for any advice.
