I am hoping someone on here can help as I haven't really been able to find anything definitive so far just searching
I purchased 5 blue/green Chromis about a week 8-9 days ago and they have been in my QT tank
Two of them will swim freely and activity go after food when I feed. One little one would stay in the top right corner behind the ammonia badge, and last night it started breathing heavy and couldn't swim and ultimately died after I took him out and put in a small container with no flow and QT tank water to observe it
I didn't see any signs of lesions or spots so not sure if it was just weak fro the start.
The other two always stay on the bottom back corner and hide behind the sponge filter. They don't appear to be eating much and they swim backwards almost exclusively
Here is a video of them I just took where they are in a specimen container

Any ideas of this is some sort of parasite that I need to be concerned about ? I don't want it to make it into the display of it is and I have a few other fish that are doing fine in the same QT and wanted some second opinions before I try anything to stress the healthy fish and make sure they are clean
