Hello!

Im a beginner, i have a biorb 35L with 2 clownfishs, 1 chromis, 1 bloodshrimp and I added 3 days ago a royal gramma. At first it was moving a bit, now(last 4 hours) not At all. Is breathing normally but is down in the rocks and not moving at all, is it sick or?

pretty sure that's a bicolor dottyback and not a royal gramma

i've never had one, but i do have an orchid dottyback, i think it'd be weird for it to just be sitting there completely still. could be diseased or frightened. or planning on how to murder everything in your tank, i'm pretty sure it's one of the meaner dottybacks.
