Took some time to watch the fish. I wanted to follow up on that possible pectoral fin nipping. After watching each fish I'm fairly certain that they all have their fins intact.
I also have a theory on the funny swimming. Wife mentioned that some fish seemed to be swimming on a bit of an angle. I observed the same behavior. After watching them for some time I think what is happening is that the fish are trying to keep an eye on me while still moving forward. It appears that when fish swim at an angle they always do so with their underbelly toward the bottom/front of the tank and their tops toward the top/back of the tank. I think it is important to note that they keep this orientation both when they swim left-to-right and right-to-left. In other words they seem to be orienting themselves to the environment and don't appear to have a fish specific issue that is making them lean to a particular angle.
I forgot to feed them at the typical time and finally fed them at 9:00 PM. Poor guys.
