I just bought 2 false percs from the LFS and i bought one maybe a little bit smaller than the other...unfortunatley the little one has been swimming hard so i turned my powerheads off to see if that was the problem...welll he is still swimming hard and he seems to lay down every once and a while in the sand bed and start to fall to his side... but as of right now he is at the top as if he is getting oxygen from the air...or even trying to get food.... can someone help me I feel if he goes down to the bottom again i might go crazy...oh PS... i got them 10 hours ago....and added them maybe 8-9 hours ago....is it possible that it is still stressed? please help

Sounds like he may have been injured in transport. Rest and recovery is about all you can do. If he's eating, you could soak his food (not the flake kind) in garlic-water to boost his immune system, and ward off secondary infections. If he swallowed some air, peas (skins removed) might help.
Sorry I can't really tell what's wrong with him. Hopefully someone else will have better suggestions?
I hope he makes it.
