Icon5 Is my Butter Fly Fish SICK!?!

Today i woke up and found my Copper Banded Butterfly fish kind of floating and the top of my tank in the corner. He stayed there most of the day and later this evening he seemed to run out of steam. He looks fine as far as color, but i haven't seem him eat for a while. Any thoughts as to what my be wrong? Thank, Jason

What do you call not eating for a while?

Also, how long have you had him, and what do you feed him? What other tank members are there?
