Hi guys
I'm at a loss with what to do with my little one.
Last week I noticed was floating on the top of his tank after 3 days I put him in the fridge, he threw up 4 days worth of food

After 2 days in the fridge I put him back in his tank (fully cleaned new filter etc, I also used cycle stuff as I killed all the good bacteria with my clean)

He went straight to the bottom and was fine although wasn't eating,

3 days later he's back to the issue of floating and can't swim to the bottom even though he tries he gets down and shoots back up backwards!
He also is refusing to eat (I've tried earth and bloodworms)

Does anyone have any suggestions to either
-what could cause the floating
-how I can fix this
-how to get him to eat

He is very small and needs to put on weight!

Water is around 18-19oc no ammonia, good ph levels.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
