Fish... do not get depressed, first of all. Secondly, it's only been a few days, he's just getting used to it. Thirdly, did you cycle the tank beforehand for at least five days? That is crucial. Do you also have a heater, and a filter? Those are also crucial things to have.

Also try to mix up his diet. Feed him flakes, pellets, brine shrimp, blood worms, also try zucchini and cucumber.

Is he in a 5 gallon tank or larger? If he is in a tank less than four gallons, he is cramped. You should fix that immediately.
 
I think he might be suffering depression, I got him on Sunday and he has only eaten one or two pellets.
 
I think he is just getting use to everything!
Remember, those cups are awful and very stressful, hopefully he is just getting use to a big tank.

also hopefully you remembered water conditioner!
hope I helped
 
well just see for a couple of dayz and see what happens....i think its just tired from moving to another type of water and habitat
