Greetings. I bought a Diamond goby today and introduced it to my tank. Acclimated for about 1 hour, and all my levels are where they should be. What could be wrong? It stays in one place, and when it decides to move, it try to jump out of my tank. I have no idea if it matters but the lady who bagged the fish had taken water out from a different tank that the Goby was not in, wasn't there as I went to go grab my wallet from my car and my gf had told me as the lady was bagging the fish.

Just settling into a new environment, can be very stressful for some fish more than others. Let it be and shouls be right in the next week or so.

In most LFS most of the 'fish tanks' are all plumbed together. Ie, different tank but same water?
