Clarify "almost perfect".
Anything other than -0- is not acceptable.
If it is swim bladder, not much can be done...I have heard that the swim bladder can be deflated with a syringe...I dont posses the skills for that so my Geo would probably not recover from a swim bladder issue.
If the fish has struck its head against something it could show similar behavior.
