Silver Dollar Swim Bladder Disorder?

[dcfeeiv]

so one of my silver dollars who ive had for over a year freaked out when i went to clean the tank and he freaked out and now seems to have major trouble to not float on the top of the water collum
whenever he tries to swim he floats towards the top of the tank and then swims down
water parameters are normal and its only the 1 (of 6) silver dollars, the other silver dollars are trying to stay with him

It’s probably a swim bladder problem as you noted in the heading. There isn't much you can do about them and the fish normally die in a few weeks of it happening. See how it goes over the next few days and if it doesn't get better then maybe euthanase the fish.

could it be bacterial?

It’s unlikely to be a bacterial problem. Sometimes internal bacterial infections damage the swim bladder but when a fish just has an internal bacterial infection they can continue swimming around the tank normally. Infected fish will develop a swollen belly, stop eating and often do stringy white poo.
A fish that is floating or sitting on the bottom instead of swimming around the tank is more likely to have a swim bladder problem.
