I would leave the light off let him adjust to his new environment .... don't forget every gar is different some adjust quick and some take time

do you still have him in with leps? if so, separate those fishes immediately. the fish is just probably a little stressed and adjusting to his new home and will be fine in a couple hours. again, adjust for the previous tankmates or you'll be dealing with the same issue again--
