I doubt the sand would hurt him but the tank not being cycled will. Check your parameters and see where they are but from now on don't do any water changes cause that's just going to make it worse. And no if he kicks up the sand while swimming won't hurt it when I had play sand my cats would do it all the time.

How long has the new tank been running? Every new tank needs to cycle (build beneficial Bactria). If you have old filter media or filters that is on the old tank it can help speed up the cycle

I am filling my tank back up right now. Once its full I will test my tank and tell you what the ph and nitrite are. And yes I do have my old filter ill set that up on the new tank
Sounds good I would keep an eye on the ppms but you can move him once the sand settles

Thank you for the help. If I run into any problems I'll you know
After reading this, I'm almost 100% sure your tank is not cycled.
You should read up on the stickies here about tank cycling. It's very important and I would not put any fish in a tank that isn't properly cycled or started with well-seasoned media.
