Most likely they are stressed from the recent move. If you just go them today, that would certainly be the most likely cause. Turn off the light and stay clear of the tank for a few hours. That will help them calm down and be less frightened. They may act that way for 2-3 days, but they will eventually settle down and start swimming around.

I have two Parrot fish myself depending on how long u have them it will take some time for the Fish to get use to the tank. Mine are very active, just make sure your PH is right and the temperature is around 78 to 80 degrees. I have about 35 fish in my 75 gallon tank sometimes fish go into shock but gradually
they get better all fish act strangely at first . Good luck and remember the PH is very important

How long have you had them? When did you last change the water? What are the parameters? If you've recently got them, is your tank cycled... did you use a drip-method to acclimate them?
How can you ask for help if you don't say anything about the fish? Sounds like those fish are way above your skill level. Stick with a minnow and some ghost shrimp next time.

it may be that the shock of being in a new tank give them same time and it may be the water in the tank is too codl or the ph is different and shocking them hope it helps
