Yes these angels from e family of Genicanthus have swim bladder problem as they are poorly collected from deeper waters. They don't go through proper decompression before being brought to shallower depths.

Most likely they had this problem when you bought them. They don't develop this over time and chances of them surviving is slim as they will have a hard time eating.

There are methods to solve this swim bladder problem but won't advice you to do it. Unless you're a fish doctor.

Sorry to give you this sad news, anyway I've not seen any shipment lately, may I know where did you get them from?
