my new black moor stays at bottom of the tank and doesn't move, looks dead until you tap tank or try to net him. is he sick or hurt?
On amazon can prolly find for about $20, at petco/smart about $26. I would say go to petco/smart and get it ASAP tho, because unless you cycled your tank then there are gonna be quite a few toxins. It sounds like it's prolly not cycled, how long have you had it? (Running it empty isn't cycling if you didn't know. Bacteria need ammonia to eat and multiply)
As far as the fish, a black moor might be able to adjust to the temp.....but will not be healthy or happy. Definitely should choose warm or cold water fish, because while some might survive at the temp for the other, they will not be happy fish.
