Hey guys! I have a established discus tank since 2016. This morning I fed some flakes to them and went back to work. When I can down he saw my favorite one, Hades, swimming really weird like on his side then head point down. He was still trying to chase the other discus in dominance. I immediately grabbed him and put him my quarantine ten gallon. Heater and bubbler in.

He’s pretty calm and doesnt look to stressed put he’s facing completely straight down. I put a teaspoon of Epison salt because everything I google is telling on swim bladder or constipation. I don’t see him bloated. Please help! Here’s some pictures.

I’d try some Epsom salt 1-3 tbsp per 5g. Feed some hex shield and dose some kanamycin or maracyn2. Reduce the water level so the fish can maybe stay upright if it all.
