Is it still eating and is it still producing faeces?

I have a blue tetra that has been like this for ages.
not much help but there you have it.

What do you feed your fish, can it maintain it's balance in the water, like has been mentioned what does it look like when the fish goes to the toilet.

I feed my fish a Tubefix Worm Cube once a week and they eat so much, they also look like that for a couple of days. Soon, my loaches should eat the whole thing, they are why I put in there in the first place. All the other fish scatter when they come up to get a piece...

If you over feed and feed to many dried foods fish are prone to constipation and swimbladder problems, i would try a shelled pea and some daphnia.

I agree, but I dont over feed them. Im going to start with the shelled pea and cucumber feeding for my loaches. Whats the best way to feed them the peas? Ive heard of several different ways. Also, what is daphina?

Boil the pea for a minute or two cool down pop out of shell, then squeeze the rest between fingers till mushy then add to the tank, daphnia is a water flea, very good at digesting the fish food.
