I have a tig as well bro and he is no where near the top EVER !!! If your doesn't make mine is for sale
healthy and flawless.
Some tig do that. Some stays vertical, against the tank wall on the first few days. Once it settles in, it will stay on the bottom. Look on the bright side, you can handfeed it. 
lol true that John. I think i figured it out i took out my dat that was in the tank with tig and today he is at the bottom like normal
When aeration is poor cats, "pant" and then shallow breathing then die... AT the bottom. They do not seek aeration at the top of the tank. When the power goes out, oscars breathe out the top, cats are all dead on the bottom.. (My first cat ate the airstones, airlines fell out, and ALL cats were dead inc, channels, corys, and pims, and of course the rtc. Some cats like lima like to "stand" vertically along tubing or wood or glass. sound like your tig felt threatened by the dat and is now ok. Id love to know if he does that again.
