I just came home from Europe yesterday and noticed my Royal Flasher Wrasse is swimming somewhat eratically (I guess he has been doing this for the past day or two. To me it looks like it's a swim bladder issue and I want to get on with treating it right away. He isn't buoyant at the water line but rather hanging out on the bottom. It basically looks like he can only use his Pectoral fins and somewhat his Dorsal fins.

I haven't noticed any external signs of bacterial/parasitic infection and I have had him for several months. When I quarantined I did not treat with anything (antibiotic, prazi-pro).

I'm thinking I should quarantine and treat. Would it be best to treat for a bacterial infection or parasite infection (worms) or both? Any recommendation on antibiotics? I saw in one thread they used Furan-2...

Can you post a picture (or even better, a video) of the behavior?
