help me please thanks alot stevo
 
Well, for starters, your tank is too small...he probably feels vulnerable and cramped...you might want to take both of them back and get smaller, community fish to start with.
 
im not sure bout all the technical stuf ive had silver dollers before but not this size thats the problem i man my other fish are fine in health but my newdoller seems to be lively and fine but the other doller only seems to come out more at night and i dunno why it aint eating its the biggest fish i have i got 2 silver barbs (dead friendly) sissortail 2x swordtails 1x spiny eel not that long 2 inch probs
 
You have to get a test kit, it's not technical at all, just go buy a nitrIte and nitrAte kit. It is very important to know these. how long have you had your tank set up?
 
around 2 year now
 
Ok, well it's probly not your water quality then so the only thing that it would be is what he already said:
