Fish have great ability to control and balance in water. They are equipped with statoreceptors, lateral line system, weberian ossicles, and swim bladder. Disturbance in any one or more of these may result in instability which they cannot control.

The gas bladder (swim bladder) is an internal organ that contributes to the ability of a fish to control its buoyancy, and thus to stay at the current water depth, ascend, or descend without having to waste energy in swimming. Not all fish contain swim bladders - sharks do not and some other fish use oily livers to maintain control over their buoyancy.
Swim bladder disorder is a condition that a fish can obtain usually as a direct result of diet or age, but sometimes also bacteria or even a deformed bladder. Overfeeding is the most common cause, while not feeding enough variety is the second most common. It is not contagious, nor is it truly a disease, but more of a condition.
