Is your guppy still swimming like this? what size tank? What is your stock? What are your levels? (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, Ph). Does he seem bloated? Any physical signs? sorry for all the questions but it will help us rule out certain things.
 
butterfly koi

its a 15 gallon tany with heater and top flowing filter. temp stays around 76 i have 2 male guppies my amonia says good but i havent gotten a kit for everything. He just seems all droopy i think that he might have been stressed out he isn't approching the front of the tank like he usually dose.

The one thing that comes to mind when dealing with a fish that swims vertically is swim bladder disease. But it could just be stress, when was the last time you did a pwc?
