Bouyancy issue can be constipation, bladder issue or Gastrointestinal parasite Also there are many different symptoms of parasitosis in fish, but the fish swimming on sideways or on its side is perhaps the most obvious. The fish tends to retract one of its fins which affects its stability and agility in the water. The most common intestinal parasites in fish are from the genus Hexamita. Treatment If its an enlarged stomach or intestine which is thought to be another cause of a swim bladder disorder, is to not feed the fish for three days. At this time, increase the water temperature to 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit and leave it there during treatment. On the fourth day, feed the fish a cooked and skinned pea.

Do follow Jay's questions and what is age of the tank ?
