I have a friend who brought me his male albino bristlenose that was lethargic. I put it in a bare 20 long with some caves by itself and a seasoned filter. It would still swim some but wouldn't run from a hand or net. Well last night I noticed he was curled in a strange position, it would still move around but would stay in that position. I added some aquarium salt last night hoping it would help. This morning he was out but still in the strange position, any ideas?

he is still in the strange position but he was on the glass and I noticed he is missing one of his fins it looked like it had been torn he also has some red on his belly. The tank he had been in the tank mates were cherry barbs and swordtails
