Answer 1

Just give it time, it'll warm up to the new place eventually. when you wake up tomorrow, he'll  probably be swimming around and having a good time.

Answer 2

well itll take time for the fish to adjust to the tank and if theirs a fish bullying it i would seperate that fish.

Answer 3

He/she is just scared encourage it to move around  by putin the food at the opposite side of the tank also the water may be too cold we all know if you stay still in cold water its not as cold

Encourage movement with plenty of toys to move around in

Answer 4

are there any other fish in the tank bigger than him? if so he's afraid if not then he's afraid to go out if not then he's taking a while to get used to the idea of living in a tank. try putting colorful things in the tank or decorate it he might find it more homey.

Answer 5

There are some cases that a fish hides itself at the coner of the fish tank ...

1. it may be ill or have a cold

2. it's afraid of the big fish

3. it may be a new place (tank) and a bit scared

Answer 6

He just need to get use  to his new tank, try feeding him with live food - if you have- that should help him come out and explore his hew home.

Answer 7

did you acclimatize him to the water

                

(float the bag)

Answer 8

its a goldfish... its not going to play with you or respond when you call "here fishy fishy!" its a very dumb creature

Answer 9

He will just need time to get used to his new home. Unless there are other fish bullying him. In a few days you should start to see him come out more often. All of my fish I introduce to a new tank usually go through a one to 3 day period where they hide, and are jittery. And I would not suggest feeding him the first day you get him. Feed him the day after. He might not eat if he's stressed and that food will just end up in the gravel rotting away.
