So i have a baby silver aro about 5" long. just got rid of its egg sac a few weeks ago. I've used the search function and it came up with issues about water quality, insufficient space, etc. The thing is, he's very active, still eats sticks like a pig, and seems healthy. The only thing wrong is that he is slightly swimming on his side. Any idea what could be causing this?

currently in a 150
fx5, (2) ac 500, and mag 350
w/c = 1-2x weekly
 
I'll try to snap some pics later... hopefully someone can diagnose him by just reading the description though
 
Pic please ;)

could the water current be forcing him to lean to a side?... just a thought
The current is fine. When i was teaching him to eat sticks in a smaller aquarium he was still swimming this way.

Swim bladder problem?
I'm not too sure... his stomach isnt sunken in, and his tail is straight.
