My Fish Is In Trouble! Help!

Yesterday I purchased four fish (two guppies and two Glofish). One of the Glofish is swimming awkwardly.. he keeps dropping to the bottom and if he tries to swim its more at a diagnol than at a horizontal. I don't know what's wrong, the other fish seem perfect to me!! Please help, he's my favorite too... Lennon. I don't wanna be Yuko Uno and take away Lennon from the rest of The Beatles!!

No... ha

Also, Lennon looks as if he's panting for air

Sounds to me like she named each fish after a Beatle.

Call the petshop where you got them or a shop that deals extensively in fish and ask. Sounds like he's ill to me.

Fish from pet stores are almost always in horrible condition to begin with, especially guppies, plecos, goldfish, koi, etc. Your fish are probably going to die. Sorry. Get fish from a specialty fish store, who will also tell you to not keep guppies in with anything else except maybe plecos or other algae eaters. Guppies are incredibly dirty compared to other fish.
