Dojo loach hanging out upside down

[derbycityvw]

My golden dojo has been lying on his back for two days now. He only moves when I feed the fish.
I thought he was dead when I saw him like that, but he's not. He swims around to eat. I don't see any visible signs of trouble, and all of the other fish are fine.
Has anyone ever had one act like this? Is it normal or is he sick?

Have you checked your water parameters? Thats usually the first thing to do when something goes wrong with a fish or atleast thats what I do.

Yes. Everything is fine. Same as it's always been.

But I don't think dojo loaches play dead like clown loaches do :/
Is he a new fish maybe you just bought a sick one but maybe he is playing dead lol
