Guppy swimming vertically when not moving

[rebeledd]

One of my guppies appears to be reverting to a vertical position when not swimming. The photo attached shows what I’m referring to, although this doesn’t just happen at the top of the tank. Could this be swim bladder?

Can we have a video of the fish?

You could upload the video on youtube and paste the link here

fancy long fin guppies can sometimes struggle to swim due to old age or if there tail becoms too heavy and can't swim upright such as your guppy in the vid

I only bought it earlier this year, but perhaps it had been in the fish shop for a while? Maybe it’s the tail like you say. It seems to be fine for a bit and then starts doing it again. Perhaps I’m over worried about it! ?
