My fish lives in a ten gallon tank and suddenly started swimming in circles. I don’t think it is swim bladder disease because he is circling up and down the tank. He will also stop circling and will eat food. ( even if he is not hungry ) he is responsive to things around him but, he will not stop circling and I do not know what to do.

How old is your tank? How big and how many fish?

What are your water parameters? Thats the main information we need. Also helps if you could tell us what type of fish too..

Do a water change right now, as you are concerned, and rightfully so. Try 30% or so and don't dump the water back in-go slow.

The water change will hopefully remove potential toxins and buy some time to figure this out. Please fill out the template. We'll try to help you.

Today I also tried a epsom salt bath and boiled peas without the shell just in case it was swim bladder but, he keeps swimming in circles constantly. Also he is a male glofish tetra.
