This is a picture of the fish In question. I woke up this morning, and he was stuck to the filter intake. He appears to have some minor fin damage to his tail fin, but it doesn't seem like it should be enough to keep him from escaping the intake. He's swimming right now with his head slightly upward, and sometimes tilts to one side. I separated him from my other fish with a tank divider to keep him from getting sucked up or picked on. I'm wondering though if it might be swim bladder. He tends to constipated often, but was not fed this weekend.
I did a pwc last night, and I checked the levels myself and had them checked at petsmart. Ammo, nitrite and nitrate are 0, doing a ph test right now cause I forget from the this morning. It's slightly low but acceptable.
I have added melafix in addition to dividing him away from the filter. I suppose I can also pick up some peas when I go out again since that won't hurt either way.
Prior to getting this fish, which was in September, I did have one die from fin rot. The other fish has been in the tank throughout with no problems.
