I just noticed one of my six guppies is pretty still in an upright position on one of the ornaments. Every couple minutes he floats up alittle and shakes around a bit kinda like a spasm.
If he gets spooked by one of the other fish he swims around the tank then returns to the same spot.

Is he dying?
Is there something I can do?

Your nitrates are high. So, to reduce stress it is time for a water change.
