I really hope its a simply blockage, or parasite. If its swim bladder you see its pretty hairy.

I agree with the swimadder issue or spinal injury.

Does the fish spend more time with its tail down or up?

I would say more time with its tail down

Looks to me like the fish is unable to really keep any particular position, which would indicate a swim bladder issue.

Medicating with antibiotics in a QT is worth a try, but may not change the situation I'm afraid.

^^ This + feeding peeled boiled peas is all you can do. It's a longshot, but worth a try.

Worth a shot. Is he eating regular food? You could try again while feeding regular food. You know, like when you feed your dog meds coated with hotdog or peanut butter.
