OK so today i can home and my nitrite and nitrates were threw the roof. all of my fish were not doing very well but my aro was the worst off. he was on his side and almost dead i was literally holding onto him to keep him upright to keep water flowing threw his gills. i did that for a good hour and he started swimming on his own after i finished the water change. i have since come down to check on him and he is swimming at the top as usual so i thought oh thank god hes ok. however now he is instead swimming like some one has a balloon tied to the end of his tail. he cant seem to swim down like something is keeping him afloat. i thought swim bladder but thats not at the end or middle of his body its closer to the front so i dont think its that. if anyone has encountered this please let me know whats going on and what i need to do. he looks healthy aside from not being able to swim down. all the other fish are ok....

Did you add something or clean real well? Did your water get cloudy? Have circulation? Filtration?

Well I didn't add anything to the water I did a 50% water change and everything seemed to be fine. I did a lot of reading up on it and it looks like he Mabey ingested too much air and over inflated his swim bladder
