TSN floating upside-down with difficulty swimming. Had been swimming fine but when seen several minutes later problem was quite pronounced.

Stomach does not seem bloated. Excellent filtration, water changed today, temperature is normal throughout tank. Fish has been eating normally with no signs of ill-health.

Help...?
 
last time i seen this it was down to posioning in the water (sprays, air freshners, that sort of thing) i had it happen to my reds to clear this you need to run a carbon filter. when i did this 2 of the 5 came back and lived ok (2 better than none)
 
i did clean the glass to day used some glass cleaner pout it on the rag first then clean the tank im really carefull not to get any in the tank suppose may have on accident ..

seamed more like it had air in the stomach tho like up side down with tail pounting down.

i do have seachem purigen in the tank.
 
its the airborne you have to watch for i have and internal filter and a undergravel and its the undergravel that has the problem as it pulls in air from the room and bubbles it in the tank.
so now i use carbon in the internal to get rid of any chemicals that are in the tank
