Is he swollen at all? What are your water stats?

you need to get yourself the API Freshwater master test kit, and test for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and PH. in the meantime do a 50% water change and gravel vac, then get the test kit. it could be swim bladder( this is incurable) or it could be internal parisites or bad bacterial infection caused my stress, from bad water conditions

go get that test kit!

In his reflection he looks a bit pineconed, but it mught just be my eyes. Are his eyes sticking out, and are his scales raised? If they are, then I think you should get him out of there as quickly as possible.
