A couple of hours ago my Raiamas guttatus lost all balance, he had a little trouble over the last few months but was eating and otherwise looked fine, Here are a few videos of what he looks like now, moved him to a solo 55 gallon to stop him getting pushed around and away from the other fish. Do you guys think it is a swim bladder issue and/or is there anything i can do to help him
Video when it first happened
in the 55
 
Sadly looks like he may have hit a wall or lid too hard. Had this happen with a few species of faster/open water fish. Sometimes theyd pull through over night but other times that was it for them. Sorry to see this man… it can happen even in large tanks IME…
