Does the Q-Tank have movement in it. Often O2 levels fall at night. get some water movement or an air stone in there.

How long did the person you bought it from have the Emporer? Many times the hardest time is the period in transition between the place of collection to the pet shops tank. Stress due to handling or unsatisfactory water issues can pose a major problem for your Emporer sooner or later!

Fish will naturally look that way when stressed or angry. Has it eaten?
How is the water in the Q-tank?

How is your QT Tank? Is it heated, Is it dimly lit, Does it have some water movement, Is the water from your main cycled tank or new. The QT tank must have good quality water or your fish will go further into shock.
Are the fishes eyes clear, fins in good shape, no spots on body. I'm sure you know this but just trying to help
