Hi Everyone I noticed one of my buenos aires tetra acting odd.I visually inspected and I don't any see signs of infection,fungus or body abnormality.As I'm preparing to do a regular water change,I am also going to setup a QT tank just for safe measures.I don't plan to dose right away ill observe first.My water parameters in the main tank are 0,0,20 ph 7.5.I Google based on what I saw and information on a swim bladder syndrome where the fish could've possible taken in too much air at the surface while feeding..I guess causing him to swim crooked and sideways.Im not exactly sure what it is but I'm going to quarantine him.My other fish are fine.So any info I'd greatly appreciate,thanks in advance.

You will need to treat him with fish antibiotics as long as he is the only one doing it.

I'm not too sure the actual root cause such as maybe internal.
