As well as my neon acting strangely, on occasion ive seen a couple of my guppies swimming with the back curved upwards sometimes drifting to a vertical position. This has only been noticed a couple of times and acts normally the rest of the time. Is this a sign of something to watch out for or normal behavior?
Sorry about quality of the photo, hard to get a picture when they're not getting photo bombed by another fish or hiding in the plants

i don't really now i don't know if that's normal but just keep an eye on him wait for someone else to respond cause i don't now what's happening.
 
I tried googling it last night and found something called broken back syndrome which can be caused by parasites but as it did it for a short time, could a parasite infection clear up on its own? I had been treating the tank for ich so would this clear the parasites that would cause this as well or just ich disease? Ive been using the kingfisher whitespot control
 
Seems to be doing again so got another picture
