help - sick elephant nose


My best guess is swim bladder issues… she’s vertical and lethargic. ammonia is 0, Ph is high (higher than it tested last week… 7.6, which is higher than our tap water typically is, I’m not sure what caused it…) tank is 100 gallons, planted w/ carbon injection. Just did a 20 % water change yesterday morning. She was fine last night and then this morning I noticed her swimming starngely. I’ve had her for about a week, she’s been eating regularly, active and I’m really worried.
Anyway… quick questions: suggestions for best course of treatement? And should I remove her to another tank or let her be because moving can be stressful? (I have a 20 gallon whose sole inhabitant I can relocate temporarily)
Testing nitrites/nitrates now… typing and testing at the same time and trying to convince myself that a sick fish isn’t a reason to call in to work!
