Soo I bought this fox face yesterday 4/26/2021. He was already stressing out when they put him a bag. Then when I acclimated him, i almost dropped the bag and caught it but I squeezed the bag.
I am really sorry about it!!! Like im stressing out too okay!

Here is my water parameter attached and also my foxface pics.

That is pretty normal for a foxface. My last one took about a week to fully color up and start really swimming a lot. They stress easy and if your LFS had just got him that didn't help with his stress

Just a Foxface doing Foxface things. They're incredibly shy, and they like to scare you by going all camo and looking dead. Give him time.

I just dont want him to kill all my other fishies in the tank.

I wouldn't worry about that. They aren't the least bit aggressive.
