|  If it is beahving normally, it may have developed some defect... give it day or two and see how it behaves... some of them generally tend to get that way if they get stuck in the net while cleaning etc... |

| Sorry it sounds like he is going to pass. When fish list to one side as if fighting to stay upright while swimming it is normally a sign of a bad air bladder. I had a sailfin molly do that for about a month and thought it was just the fish until I woke up one morning and he was dead. Talked to the pet store owner and he explained it to me. Normaly happens when a fish swims thru the air bubbles or under the flow of your filter and air is forced into the throat were they swallow it and have no way to get the air out of there system. |
