Depressed Firefish

Firefish is in fourth week of quarantine (10 gal. tank, water parameters are fine). Last week he started hiding appeared sluggish. Now he's spending a lot of time on the bottom, but still moves around occaisionally Colors fine, but fins are clamped much of the time. No other signs of distress or eternal problems.

Only thing I can think of is heat might be getting to him, tank is 86゜any thoughts?

Direct a fan towards the top of the QT ... the evaporation should help reduce the temperature of the tank.

Double check the water quality/ammonia level? Water change may also impact temperature.
