    Fish occasionally get infections or swallow air bubbles at the surface that. This affects their swim bladder so they can no longer control their swimming fully, sure they can swim a bit when disturbed but they will always go back to the same position. I had this happen with a coral beauty before. Feeding it peas soaked in garlic will help. This is the method I used and people I know have used with this exact problem. The garlics sole purpose is to make the peas more enticing to the fish.
