Hello, I am new to this forum and owning a saltwater tank. I have been extremely cautious and slow in adding life to my aquarium and I have just recently added my second fish to my tank. It is a Randall's anthias and was healthy and mobile in the store, I acclimated and quarantined appropriately (at least I think, same as my first fish which is an Pygmy angelfish who is happy and healthy), my water quality is on the money according to all my tests (ammonia phos nitrites nitrates specific gravity temp etc).
Long story short... The anthias has taken to swimming upside down, facing toward the ground in the back corner of the tank Or when not swimming is "resting" on a structure in the tank (not on the sand bed). I have researched swim bladder but it mostly eludes to disease, etc which I do not think is the problem. I've read swim bladder can be from stress and new environment, if this is so, is there a way to fix it?
