Lethargic bangaii cardinal?

[Grumpyguy]

I have 1 of 2 bangaii cardinals in my QT that got stuck between the glass and an in tank filter. I thought it was dead. When I removed the filter it swam to the other side of the tank and just stared out of the tank like it was contemplating the meaning of life. This was 6 days ago. It eats when I feed them not very much but just finds different spots to hover and stare at nothing. Is it possible this gave it some major trauma that it won't come out of?

no this is noramal its just stress that will wear off and its probably looking at its reflection. btw they are also known to hover, not really swim around like a tang would.

Unfortunately it passed last night. The other one is doing great though. I'll have to go and get either 1 or 3 more to keep it company in a couple of weeks
