pbass "floating" ... bladder problem??

[new2natives]

i have a 4" pbass that appears to be floating ... he is upright, and breathing normally, but his back is sticking up out of the water


if he tries, he can swim down into the tank but it looks labored, and then he will float back to the top

any ideas??? how do i fix it??
