Came home today and turned my lights on and saw my PBass's tail sticking out from the bog wood. I then noticed it was upside down and assumed it was dead :(

However It was still breathing so I have moved him to a 4 foot tank on his own and have added some salt and kept the lights off. Hes still laying upside down, but still breathing.

I cant think what else to do. Ive had him since he was an inch long so would be sad to lose him.

Any advice?

No movement other than breathing. Seemed really rigid when I transferred him. Broken back perhaps?

I think he may have just taken his last breath though :(
