Sick Rainbow?

I think one of my Boseman's Rainbows is sick .

Tomorrow (Thursday) I'll have had him (and the others) for one week.

The reason I think he may be sick is because he is just hanging at the top of the tank alone and he didn't seem to want to eat. (normally he is like a pig with fins) He dosen't seem to be breathing heavy, and I didn't observe any outward physical signs of illness (no white spots, puffy stomach, cloudy eyes etc)

He appeared fine when I first got home from work.

I had tested my water this evening and my ammonia was 0, nitrites were 0 and nitrates were 10 (which is the same as my tap water). The other two Boseman's appear to be fine.

Any thoughts?

It could be internal parasites. Lethargy, loss of appetite. If it's parasites, you'll want to treat the whole tank.
