Re-post on the bichir section. Along with water parameters and photos since suggestive of an injury.

Is that the tank? How big is the tank? It could be trapped air or due to the level of the water it will swim toward the top and cruise like that. Need more information.

+1 is that its tank? it doesn't look like there's an air pump or any moving water at all. It may be that the water is so depleted of oxygen that he's chilling at the top so he can breathe the air
