I just recieved some Geo Tapajos II and one looks like his tail is drying out, if that makes any sense. I thought at first he just lost some of his slime coat from shipping so I treated the whole tank with STRESS ZYME. He also stays at the bottom and when he does try to swim he sways his whole body left to right like something is weighing him down.

I seen him today swim up to the middle of the tank but he immediately went back to the bottom and just sat there.

Oh, he has been breathing hard too.

Tank: 80 deg.
PH 6.8
plenty of O2
 
get a picture of the area in question. Start treating the fish with an antibacterial med like Pimafix or melafix. Once ID'd you can start using a specific med.
