Hello, welcome to Reef2Reef!

Take a look at the link below my name here, that file describes information we need to try and problem solve your fish’s issue.
I will say however, that once a fish has begun swimming upside down, there is often no way to help them.

When my bannerfish jumped and I threw him back in, he was swimming upside down for a couple hours and was fine after that. Possibly due to a concussion. I'm sorry to hear this happen to your fish.
