Today morning I saw my angel vertical at the top of my tank. As I was in hurry I did not pay any attention. When I can back in the evening I saw it sitting at the bottom of the tank again in vertical position and almost lifeless with its mouth constantly open as you can see from the picture.
One thing I noticed is that its colour is darker than usual. I am not sure what’s wrong with it. For now I have moved it to another tank. I have not used any medication as I am not sure what is wrong with it. Does Angels have swim bladder disease? I have medication for it.
Water parameters are normal. I do a 15-20% water change every week. Last water change was done on Sunday.

Here is the image of the Angel.

I think its swim bladder, but is it only upright/still or is it very wobbly?

It was upright still, not wobbly. Now its down on the floor. I think it is going to die.
 
Your tanks severely overstocked.

What are your water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
What do you feed the fish.

It sounds bacterial to me. I would add a bacterial med.

Is that a pinky brown dark patch below his gill.
