Why is this tetra swimming funny?


I have five danios, four flame tetras, four pristella tetras, and a little gold tetra who thinks he’s a danio. Everybody is fine except for this one flame tetra. He is swimming at an odd, tale down angle, sometimes leaning to one side, and today he’s been swimming mainly in circles. He also moves jerkily. This has been gettting worse for some time. He can swim in one direction when he wants to, albeit usually at that odd angle, and his appetite is better than that of the other flame tetras. He’s usually the first to push in and grab bites of food among the danios, in their feeding ring.
Here are movie clips, most of which include him swimming.
