Hi guys, I was just wondering if you think my baby oscar is sick, or if he's just stressed and will pass. I got him today from petco. Currently have it in a 10g tank as you can see, don't roast me please I'm getting a 75g from petco next Friday and will be putting a cycled fluval 406 canister as well as 2 sponge filters.
The thing is, he's been staying at the bottom of the tank all day. Do you think this is normal due to the new tank? He follows me with his eye when I come close, and I can see he's breathing veeeery slowly, but he doesn't move a muscle. I placed a cycled sponge filter in the tank, and I have no heater because this room is constantly at 76-79F (A/C on) cause I got multiple other tanks.
I know the setup looks bad but I promise it's just temporary, next week he'll be in a 75g all by himself. Any tips? Right now I have the light off, just turned it to take the pics.
