there is a possiblity thats it could be stress related as its only been in the tank for a day or so..

Post your current water parameters aswell please and how long the tank has been up and running..

the water that the fish came from does not need to match the water you have. Hence the reason why we have the acclimating procedures which aims to balance out the water it came from and the water its going into...This way, it should reduce the stress on the fish when it actaully gets into your tank....

And i would probably suggest this is what the issue is, it does sound like it to me from the description you have given...

Can you post how you acclimatised the fish please..
