What are your current stats like ammonia, nitrate and nitrite?
When you say he is wobbling, does he look like he can't maintain his balance properly or stay upright?
What is his activity levels like i.e is he being lethargic, hiding all the time or not eating? Does it look like he is finding it hard to compete for food with the barbs? Does he have any scale or fin damage?

1. as far as levels everything is at zero
2. looks like he is trying to swim normal but cant his tail kinda drags and he wabbles he is about 3.5 in long if that helps any
3. he is eating fine and is one of the biggest eaters in the tank
4. he has some fin damage now like bite marks on the tail but no scale damage

Its posible he has a swim bladder disorder- if you don't have any tanks to isolate him in, buy a breeding net to put him in- i know this a bit on the small side but at least it will separate him from the barbs and give him a chance to rest.
I would use some diluted melafix to help prevent secondary infection from setting into his wounds and help speed up the healing process. His unbalanced swimming could posibly be the beginnings of a swimbladder disoreder- buy some anti internal med to keep at hand if this does turn out to be a swim bladder disorder. Start feeding him some peas everyday in his diet now as it will help prevent further related complications like this like constipated related swimbladder disorders and keep an eye out for any negative signs of health.
