Answer
Hello,

I had a little bit of trouble understanding your question, but I will try to answer it as best as I can. From what I gathered, your fish appears mishappen in some manner and is not swimming properly. I think this sounds like an internal problem, likely bacterial. I recommend a medicine called Maracyn-2, which can be bought at most pet stores. If you can't find it, aquarium safe tetracycline or triple sulfa may also work.

If I misunderstood your question and you would like to clarify, please feel free to get back to me. I hope this has helped.

Regards,
Stephanie
