Or just being bullied they are staying upside I have a ten gallon tank that I keep new fish in for a few weeks before I put them in thier tanks that I bought them for . I got 3 of them day before yesterday they are about the size of a half of dollar I decided I would go buy the other two left at the lfs by the way it was my testing kit that was old I bought a new testing kit for all ph ammonia nitrates nitrites and the water readings are 0 ammonia nitrates nitrites Well anyway when I got back home this evening three of the angels were swimming upside down. they dont have a mark on them and they are breathing fine.
 
Yes they definatly sound sick or they are on crack. Do you know the water parameters of the tank they came from? Did you acclimate them properly? Im sure you did just wanna make sure.
 
As with the above, did you acclimate them to the tank temp? Your suppose to leave the fish in the bag for about 15-30 minutes (From my knowlege, correct me if I am wrong) Not doing so can send the fish into shock and damage the swim bladder :no:
