Help fish ill?

Hi.
We bought two silver sharks on Friday. One is happy and swimming around. Having lots of fun chasing after the guppies. The other seems to have a kink in his body and doesn't really swim properly. He just floats near or behind the filter. Often floating nose to the ground.
Is he poorly or just lazy?!
The water tests are fine. The other fish guppies and other shark are perfectly fine! Have I just bought a sick fish?

Both sharks came from the sane tank!
Thanks

Sounds like a deformity, probably from inbreeding.
