Do you mean scomb?Sounds like it's been through quite a bit in the few minutes that you have had it.The first few days after arrival should be a time for it to settle in and acclimate with as little disturbances as possible.It is okay to have some feeders in the tank at this point but dont expect him to scarf them down right away,at this point they will be dither fish and help him feel more comfortable having other fish around and when he gets hungry enough,he'll eat them when he gets around to it.
