F8 with sunken in stomach

I just introduced 3 figure 8's into my 80g yesterday. They are the only things in the tank, and i plan on transitioning to BW in the next couple of days. 2 of them appear rather healthy, but the 3rd f8 and the smallest of the 3 (1.5'') appears to have a heavily sunken in stomach. He has quite the appetite however though. Could this be a sign of malnutrition or something else? I hear quite a few people talking about IP (internal parasites?)

Try feeding him healthy, meaty foods for a while & see if that helps. If not, treat for IPs.
