Since they are eating, you might want to consider making up some metronidazole laced beefheart and feeding that twice a day for ten days.to the group.

You may want to complete the questionnaire a bit further. Like your water change regime, is it a bare bottom, what are your water parameters...etc.

I wouldn't worry about it. If the fish is eating and behaving normal, don't fret.
