Yea. Gotta wedge something against it. Push some plants on top so the fish get between leaves and stems but right side up. This way if the swim bladder heals then it’ll be safe.

So I just got home from work and he's swimming around still upside down but now he's developed bubbles on his belly and one on his side what is this?

Could be just the trapped air. Would add some Epsolm salt 1 tbsp per 5 gallon.
