Domino Problem?

I took ya'lls advice and just got one domino damsel and a 2 stripe. But now they're acting funny... They were perfectly fine yesturday and zipping all around after I accumilated them. Now the domino is bobbing around the bottom and staying over in a corner I even think I saw her on her side once. The 3 stripe's perfectly fine zipping around all day. I did a test and like usual the nitrates went up some from adding fish. I did a 10% water change. But now the 3stripe is picking on the domino and forcing her out of her corner and making her swim around. What's going on w/ these fish? I'll retest and post the results... Any advice... and last night the domino had a white string hanging on her just a cob web but she looks fine now

Could be your water but I think its just that those two fish should not be mixed in such a small tank. Two meanies together only get you fighting. Best to take one or both back. I dont recall you saying you had a 3 stripe when you asked about the DD. The 3 Stripes are just as mean as DDs are, so up to you now.

I got them both together and all of the stripes and domino were fine towards eachother. They were great yesturday... I thought they'd b fine everytime I've seen them they are great schooling fish so I thought it'd be fine. It looks like the fish is just having probs or something. I'll keep ya'll updated
