Illness/Sickness: Axie lethargic and pinker than usual??

[Quentari]

So I was watching my tank with my two golden lotl's in it and noticed Glorlim was acting really sluggish, but I don't know if he just seems slow compared to my newer super-active unnamed gold axie. What I do know is that glorlim is a darker pinkish shade, and isn't as yellow as normal. I've already tested the water, ph was at 7.0, nitrite at 0.5, nitrate at 80(??) and ammonia at 0. I've done a 20% water change just in case, I'm worried that I'm overreacting because my new golden is in such good shape compared to poor glorlim and maybe I'm judging his colour too harshly, but I also would rather be wrong than right in this case.

The first picture is glorlim about a week ago, the second is him now. He's got some new ornaments and a new tank and his very first tank-mate in the last week, could that have something to do with it? Stress? His tail looks straight and his gills aren't curled (although they are very short)

Did you quarantine the new addition before adding him to the tank?

Quarantining for close observation is essential with any new additions to any aquarium - hopefully it was healthy, but it's always best to be sure

Sometimes over activity isn't necessarily a sign of good health.
