So, video below, at the moment it's swimming vertically. Eating a little and otherwise seems perfectly fine. But clearly isn't. I would assume it's a swim bladder thing, but the issue started about two days ago with the fish swimming horizontally and seemingly having a paralyzed side and pectoral fin not working. I have a long spine urchin in the tank and assumed he maybe got stung overnight? And the effects would subside. Now all his fins work fine, but he's swimming head up all the time and doesn't seem to be able to get sideways comfortably.
What does everyone think? Plenty of other fish in the tank and everyone else is fine. I've had this wrasse for 3 weeks and he's been healthy until the last few days. Worst case I think I can catch him and bring him to a trusted LFS to go through their treatment process as a precaution.
Thanks in advance.
