How many gallons or litres is the tank.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

If he dosn't settle down you will have to issolate him.
Sometimes fish just don't take to kindly to new comers.

hi thanks for getting back to me so fast the tank is 640L it has 2 parrot fish 4 silver sharks 2 mollys and an angle fish dont know my water levels at min as not had it tested in a week or so

Just keep a close eye on him.
Is he nipping fins.
He could be excited at the new arrivals, or not to happy with the new arrivals.

If he dosn't settle down you will have to think of rehoming him.

i dont think hes nipping at the fins just chaseing them all arownd but the sharks have been in there longer than him and he has started chaseing them as well

 

[WILDER]

That's fine then.
He sounds abit over excited to me. He might settle back down once the newness has worn off.
If he starts pecking at the fins, issolate him.
