Swim bladder or something else

Can you move him into a different tank (even a QT or down in your sump)? To see if his behavior changes once he's away from her.

This was going to be my suggestion, I suspect aggression as well.

Just make sure he can’t jump they get spooked easily

 

[slipknotgrrl83]

Yeah I'm going to have too! I got a spare 10 gallon I can set up after work. Ty all

Once he's separated and aggression isn't an issue, keep an eye out for lethargy, heavy breathing, and white-stringy poop. Especially if he does not start eating.

Intestinal worms would be my next guess after aggression...

^link has lots of good info.

Short answer, either metroplex or general cure bound to food with focus.

Feed exclusively to all your fish for at least 10 days, 1 scoop of med: 1 scoop of focus: 1 tablespoon of food.

Ty both

Maybe he is hosting the wall

 

[slipknotgrrl83]

It's possible...he will stay for now
