I do not think this is a swim bladder problem either.
dc pointed out the more likely scenarios. I your water parameters are
fine (no ammonia or nitrite, 80 ppm Kh or more), I would consider a
relatively safe treatment of Pimafix either in your main aquarium or a
hospital aquarium. Metronidazole is effective for some problems you
described if caused by a parisite. Another treatment that is organic is
to use Usnea lichen in a boiled tea form, this has strong anti-fungal
and anti-parasite properties and I have used this where other treatment
have failed.
