What are the parameters of your tank and how did you acclimate it?

 

[EthanBeltramo]

Nitrites are 0
Nitrates around 30
PH around 6.5
Hardness around 30.
I let the bag float in the water for a wile to set the temp. Every few minutes I added water from my tank. The ore one is fine though.

It looks like you might have done the acclimation too quickly if this happened within a few minutes of him being added to your tank.

There's really not much to do other than give him time. Anything else is just going to stress him out more.

I left my tank for like fifteen minutes. When I came back it looked like he was stuck behind a plant so I freed him. He chased the net, bit it, swam for a few seconds, and then he turned on his side and let the current take him. His gills are moving so I know he isn't dead, but he hasn't moved his fins since. PLEASE HELP!!!

First you gotta CALM DOWN bud....
There's not much your going to be able to do. If it we me I will let him be. Turn off your tank lights and let him get used to the tank

I just checked on him and he is moving his fins again. It seems as if he can't escape from the corner. The other one is just staring at him. Help

My god man, relax.

There isn't anything at all on the face of this planet you can do that wont further stress out the fish.

 

[Brookster123]

Your tank is cycling, do a 50% wc and do some research as well. Take the angel (s) back.. they look aweful..

He is free now. He looks like he is trying to swim but the current is too strong.
