I put him in one week ago, today I did a water change and I think he freaked out and hit the glass and hurt himself. He cant seem to right himself and lays on his side. He seems fine otherwise.

Do these things tend to correct themselves.? I'm not sure if he concussed himself or inured legs on one side and he can't right himself?

Shrimp sometimes experience something like vertigo (why a rubber band or other hold fast is put into their transport bag) and maybe he's just having a rough time right now; sure you'll watch carefully and suspect he'll recover.
