I added two new fancy guppies to my tank this afternoon, a blue and a yellow. I already had a green and red cobra guppies. The current fish were doing great and the water checks were consistently spot on. I did a water change to make sure there was plenty of fresh nutrients in the water and then added the new fish. The yellow one is doing great and so are the two I already had. But the blue one is just hovering laboriously and only swims when annoyed by the other fish. I have had in the tank for about one hour. Is this behavior normal for newly added fish? Is he just scared or in shock? The new yellow came out of the same tank at the store and is doing great. Please help me out and let me know how long I should wait before expecting some normalcy out of this little guy. Thanks in advance.
