I got a new horn yesterday it had been shipped to me over night so it being stressed was pretty obvious after its ordeal. But the last 24 hours it has just layed on its side apart from that it looks fine. I've had oscars do this but for not as long periods of time, all water is fine. And have kept the light off but it just won't swim. Any ideas how to get it free swimming.

Might have succumbed to something while being stressed in transit or it might still just be freaking out. Give it a day or so with the lights off, maybe cover the tank with a sheet or something to see if he calms down.
