verticle swimming ram

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with my German blue ram. Just this week I noticed him swimming only vertically. It's as if he cannot straighten himself out. Not sure if this is just a case of swim bladder, an injury, or possibly internal parasites messing him up.

He is interested in food and tries to eat when it comes near him. His colors are shining bright, and he even flares up when other fish get too close.

One thing I have noticed is that his breathing seems very heavy.

Anyone have any ideas?
