I agree with swim bladder disease although it's usually the females that get it. I'd strongly recommend Mardel Tetracycline tabs for your tank before it spreads to your other gups! Yes, the tabs *will* make your tank really ugly and nasty looking (I just know some fool will complain about that) but it's always worked to heal my guppies when the problem occurs (usually after adding new breeders to my stock). And to the idiots that merely say "Your fish is gonna die"...If you treat the problem early they do in fact survive (and I really wish I could remove your two points).
Here's the link to everything guppy

I'm soooo sorry but I don't think he's okay but, if he does this constantly like he seems fine and happy gills then I'd ask a fish vet or something but other than that I don't know what to say. I have two betta fish m,yself that I got for my 11th birthday in august this year so I can see your consern but what else can I say?

maybe his swim bladder blew up or something, if hes eating and pooing then consider hes fine
