New chromis- new tank

[aaa1234]

My tank is about 3-4 weeks old and its about done cycling i believe. So today at the lfs i got 3 green chromies and 2 blue chromies. They were all doing fine after i acclimated and released. But just now, as i was getting ready for bed, i had my light off and turned it back on to check and all 3 of the green chromies were hiding behind my overflow box and a few of them seemed to have white blotches appearing on their bodies. Could this be a disease? Or could it just be stress? How can i treat this if it needs to be treated?

On a different note...one of the blue chromies is a meanie. After release he just sat behind a rock and chased off any of the others that came near him. I found this interesting because for tiny little fish these chromies have quite the personality!

Thanks for any feeback

Needless to say i would not be able to get any quality pics of it. But the blotches are about a few mms big and the are on their sides like a little at the top fin. I have no idea what my perams are. Getting my water tested at my lfs tomorrow. So well go from there.

hows the breathing on the fish and are they swimming kind of sluggish?
