this problem occured not soon after I bought him. Every now and then he'll start to swim lopsidded, I think that its a swimbladder problem but Im just making sure just in case. Thanks in advance
 
Angels will swim at a slight angle once in a while, depending on their surroundings. Depending on the tankmates it could be acting a little aggressive. Swimming at a slight angle, especially towards another fish is a typical sign of cichlid aggression.
 
The first thing you need to do is a parameter test. If your water is ok.. you can rule out water quality. Then you should keep a close eye on the fish. Is it eating ok? Keep an eye on the poos.. make sure there is nothing strange coming out.
