OMG mini moth catfish floating

[Fishy_Fun]

I just got this thing in the mail yesterday and all was well when i acclimated him and added.Now today he is floating and will swim to the bottom but float back to the top.This is really annoying since the first one he shipped died in transport and this one is probably gonna die today.Is there anything i can do?i think he has a swim bladder problem so i think all is lost:wall:

Doesn't sound good.
