I have a small small yellow calvus and all he seems to do is lay ontop of a rock figure or on the ground. I just recently put a new black (larger) calvus in and he seems to be doing the same. I had a jag in the tank who was very active and healthy but recently took him out. Anyone help? I am worried I may lose this beautiful fish.

He is now laying on his side and breathing very slowly.

Probably bad water quality or other fish (jag) beating on him. Throw some aquarium salt in and turn up the temperature and no food or light for the rest of the day. Good luck

Perform a 50% water change, make sure you have some hiding spots, caves in there.

Do you have a test kit for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates?
