Prop him upright and have him lean against something (corner of glass if possible). Put some solid next to him on the other side. Don't pin him too tight just enough to keep him upright. Certain death if he continues to breath on his side ime

turn off the lights and keep em off, put some salt and destresser, test water params check if everything is good,
raise temp to 84-86,try to get it to eat with live crickets or something it likes.make sure water is well aerated
if not add air stones/wands & etc, try to keep the aros stress level low as possible. almost every fish ive had floating
or swimming side ways has made a outstanding recovery from doing just these ime. gl to to you and your aro. at
15" it should be a pretty hardy fish dont give up until the last moments. hold him next to a air stone/wand if you have to
or cpr lol XD

Why on earth would you have fish shipped during this time of the year?
