So I put 3 GBRs in my 40b the other day. Two of them seem to be doing great (besides the flashing they're doing), but other then that they are colored beautifully, and swimming around the tank. One of them I don't know what's going on.

The second male is pale, not really swimming much, and when he does, he swims backwards with the current. He kind of looks lazy because I've seen him swim around a little bit, but he just doesn't want to put any effort. Sometimes he's at the top of the tank, sometimes he's at the bottom, but he never seems to fully lose it ever.

It looks like he has no interest in eating, and his fins are still kind of clamped. I say kind of because the two bottom ones fell this morning, but the top and tail fin are still clamped. What could be going on? I think an ich breach out might have happened so I have the temp to 87, but I'm not 100% so I'm really doing it as a precaution.
