I'm not sure what type of fish it is but i'll provide pictures.It's scales on it's body are black and silver. It dosen'T have much energy too. In case of an infection i've added a tiny amount of salt to the water.

My fish look like it has trouble balancing,it can swim but can easily flip,plus it's head it pointing upwards and it's eyes seem to be bulging. Is it due to swim bladder having too much air or?
