HELP! Two cories are having problems with their swim/float/whatever you call it bladders. One is upside down and another flipped upside down, but righted itself. They have been absolutely fine until today. One is new to the tank. It was quarantined for 10 days before being added to this tank. Was also treated with Melafix for three days as a precaution before being added.

Internal parasites? Flukes? I haven't noticed any flashing or odd behavior before. They have all eaten fine and had typical hyper cory behavior.

What treatment should I use? The other seem okay and I don't want to lose them.

Water parameters?

0 ammonia
0 nitrites
<20 nitrates
pH a little over 8.0 (normal for us)
temp 75
