I got 2 fish on Wednesday . They were fine when I put them it the tank now they just seem very unhappy on the bottom of the tank and look like they can't not be bothered to swim. I have had the water tested and its fine what am I doing wrong please can any 1 help ?

They may simply be acclimatising to the new tank.
Is there anything in it for them to swim round and hide in ?
Also any other fish ?

What kind of fish are they? Some fish are bottom swimmers.

I have a shubunkin and a black moor and yes I have a plant and a castle. I really do not want them to die. Thank you

I don't know about you, but my fish is doing that too. It used to be in my boyfriends tank with his black moore (until I finally got a tank+filter for him) and now my goldfish goggles doesn't seem very happy. Im thinking I need to get another fish to make it happy again, but I'm not sure. He's kind of sitting on the bottom but still flapping his fins. Is he sleeping?
