Turn the lights off to help reduce stress.

Also make sure to block all the light in the room if that's possible. You want complete darkness.

ok
thanks for that will do that now
see what happens

Hopefully that reduces his stress level. Keep the tank in complete darkness for around 24 hours.

turned off lights and put a cover over tank..
doing this will not bother other fish ?

Fish don't need lights
