I got 4 pearl celestial danios on Sunday and 1 has started hanging out at the top of the tank looking rather deflated, for lack of better word. It’s a 10 gallon with 2 Apistos, 3 neons and 4 celestials. The other fish are all doing well. I got all the fish the same day after emptying the tank from about 35 convict fry that needed a new home. So it’s been up and running successfully before adding these fish. Please see pic below:

Is the fish eating at all? The belly looks concave in the pic and the fins appeared clamped to the body.
 
If it has an appetite then I’d suggest feeding some hex shield. Make sure it’s eating and provide clean water.
 
What do you suggest if he’s not eating? I just fed them and he didn’t go for any of the food.
I’d dose some kanamycin and furan2.
