Hi guys i found my glowlight tetra stuck in the filter so i took him out but when i took him out he kept on swimming head-up what could be wrong?

He is sick now. Isolate him if you can or but him in a breeder box. I had that happen to a swordtail recently. Unfortunately they tend not to survive after they get stuck in the filter. Just watch him if he develops fin rot then he will die.

I'm sorry to hear that. Swimming head up sounds like a swim bladder issue. They are really tough to effectively treat because the swim bladder is such an important organ.

I'm sorry you lost the little guy.
