Our little fan tail goldfish has been hanging out at the bottom of the tank for a couple days now, or hiding behind a rock. Doesn't come to the surface to eat, bumps up against things a bit, and doesn't really swim around. The water looks pretty clear now, and after testing the water, the ph is at about 7.2-7.6, nitrite is at 0, nitrate is at 0, and ammonia is at about 0-0.25. Is he sick? If so, what could it be?
 
Can you take pics and post them? Sounds like the tank isn't cycled yet either so watch the ammonia closely.

I'm not home right now, but I can try later. It may be challenging since he's hiding in the back of the 29 gallon hexagonal tank behind a rock. But I'll try to get him out from there. We're about a week and a half into the cycle process.
