Banggai Cardinal Fish


I know that this isn'y a reef question but my banggai reef fish is acting very odd. It isn't eating and it is swimming on an angle, instead of straight. It also occasionally swims to the top of my tank and stays there. My other Banggai is fine, we bought both of them together, and i am unsure why it is acting so wierd. any kind of help would be appreciated

I am not 100% sure but i think that the one does that because they are both male.

I always had problems if there were two males. When young they were fine, but after they get to be teenagers, the fighting begins...until one dies.

How long have you had the banggai's? If you just recently got them they maybe the fish is stressed. Generally when one does hang out and the top of the tank it is because it is being harrassed. Have you noticed aggression between the two? If so, return one to the store. Good luck.
