Default Weather loach floating on top

When he's floating he's pretty lifeless but when he swims he seems

Fish can go without eating for a few days, don't worry about it.

I left the filter pump off overnight as he didn't seem to want to swim
against the current


That's not a good idea, as it allows oxygen depletion in the water
overnight.

Is there anything I can do for him or will the bouyancy disappear?


Perhaps treat the tank with Melafix to help him rebuild his slime coat?
