    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 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?
