This is a little concerning, but if the fish does not appear to be in distress, I would give it some time to see if it corrects itself. If there is an issue with a bully in the tank, this is best resolved now rather than later. Even if he didn't cause this specific problem, he might add...

And not swimming against a current? What happens if you disturb him? Like approaching him with your hand or a net? Does he swim away normally, or is stuck in the upright position?

Is this vertical swimming constant? Like the fish is trying to swim upwards but can't, like it is struggling with buoyancy? Or does it seem more "intentional"?

Thanks for the welcome! I recently moved cities, so I pretty much started up all over again. For the time being, just a few breeding setups to get the ball rolling - some livebearers, cichlids, and catfish. Oh, and pea puffers, because I simply could not resist them!

Hello everyone! My name is Tim, I'm from South Africa and I enjoy keeping a variety of fish. I look forward to learning about what cool things other fishkeepers are up to, and helping out if I can. Until then I guess!
