Sick Bangaii!

I posted this somewhere else and couldnt figure out how to move it. So, I just copy/paste:
So one of my two new tank raised bangaiis (in quarantine) looks like he's dying. He's swimming just barely over the sand and every once in a while he kind of 'sits down'. The other guy is swimming around happy as can be. They both ate for the first two days, but now the sick one wont eat. He has absolutely no other symptoms..no spots (although its hard to tell) or any other strange markings.
What the heck do I do? I feel so helpless!

pH= 8.25
NH3=0
Nitrite=0
Nitrate= 20

I should also point out he seemed to be acting funny last night. Very lethargic. Then this morning it was way worse with him actually 'sitting' on the bottom. Also he's not laying on his side, just resting upright.

It doesn't sound too good. Has the other fish been harassing this fish? How long have you had them?
