Neon Tetra struggling ‘bouncing’ at back of tank

[Mad Dog Malcs]

Hi guys

Does anyone recognise this behaviour, is it a swim bladder problem?

He’s been like this for a few days now but is still able to swim around the tank ok, and is eating fine. As soon as he stops he goes off to the back of the tank and for want of a better word, bounces.

Head up, tail down, tried to post a video but the Tapatalk app won’t let me, you can see him at the back on the photos.

Any help appreciated.

I've seen that quite a few times before. Sadly, in my experience it means he's not much longer for this world. Don't know what causes it, but hiding like that instead of shoaling is a sign of some sort of illness.
