hey just got a pair of true perculas.. look great and are both eating but the bigger one just swims against the current and stays in one place at either the bottom of tank or at the top corner of the tank. I know that if its breathing heavy thats not a good thing. but they both seem to be breathing the same and the smaller one looks and acts fine. everything tests 0 or w/in range. any thoughts thank you.
 
Might just be scared and needs time to get used to its new environment. At least they are eating - that is always a good sign.

It took my two Ocellaris about three days after I purchased them to "settle down".

As you are doing, continue to watch the breathing and eating and any other visible signs of distress or disease.
