whats the water temp? if ur running a heater take it out.

The one that is floating has, i would say, trapped air, chances are it will resolve itself so don't worry. What are you feeding? they might at that age still like to see their food wiggling around, like live blood worm, or try dropping a piece of food directly onto its snout they normally can't resist making a grab for it.

i don't know why they are not eatiing, but one of mine was floating to and it resolved it's self he joust had trapd wind.

I looked at your photos and one of them has really curled gills. Do you have a powerful filter in there? That could be stressing them

it looks like you are using an under gravel filter if so split the pipe and fit an extra air stone in the water (mind you it also looked like you've got a thermostat as well if so remove it as axie's like it coool!
