We had a tank with some angel fish and tetras but found some angels that we wanted and got 2. One of those fish seemed normal for being put into a new tank for the first day or so but after a few days he didn't eat. He hasn't been eating for days now and is starting to thin out, he has clamped find and sits by himself in the corner, floating up and down slowly. The other fish we got seems to have no problems what so ever.

Hi, welcome to the forum. Any improvement in your fish?

If the other fish are all healthy, there's a chance the fish was sick when you got it OR the other Angels may be picking on it. I would suggest removing the fish to a "hospital" tank for observation then treating accordingly should it be disease.
For the future, it's best to always quarantine new fish for a period of time ( suggest time is 4-8 weeks) prior to adding them to your main tanks. This will cut down on the spread of diseases to your established fish.
