Hey guys,

I'm hoping you can help me diagnose what the problem seems to be with my angel. Today is the first day that I have noticed that he is swimming at the top of the water, on his side, and seems to gasping for air. The other fish in the tank seem fine, and I have not noticed anything out of the ordinary for the tank as far as water. Any ideas? Maybe a swim bladder? Poor guy.

Specs:
20 g
77-78 deg

How big is the tank, can you post test results in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, could be swim bladder if he is gasping I don't hold out much hope i'm afraid as the swim bladder has progressed.
