I bought an orange butterfly goldfish recently, and I noticed after a few days that he tends to lean to one side at times. I haven't been observing him for very long, as I just noticed it, but he'll swim fine one second, and the next be floating sideways at the top of the tank.
I think it might be a swim bladder issue, and maybe he eats too much, but he's the smallest fish in the tank...
Any suggestions?

It's an 80 gallon fresh water tank with sand and rocks, 2 algae eaters and a catfish(?), and 5 goldfish, plus the butterfly.
