Just brought home an albino oscar from the LFS. He was really peppy at the store and even when i was acclimating him to my 125. After about 15 min acclimating to the 125 I decided not to put him in because I was nervous that his smaller size would be an issue. Instead I put him in a ten gal isolation tank with water transferred from the 125. Since then he has just been hanging out at the bottom and not swimming around very much. I notice when I get close to the tank he starts to hide and becomes skittish. Is there such a thing as fish trauma, and what can I do to help this Oscar along? Ideally I would like to get some more size on him before putting him in with the rest of the junior cichlids in the 125. He is about 2 in right now.
