Sick??

[Savvy1985]

I have Murray in a kritter keeper until the tank is fully set up, and he seems to be doing just fine... until now... I do 100% water changes nightly, and feed blood worms nightly before the water change. He has always been active with a super healthy appetite, but tonight I noticed he is floating more today than normal, and kind of on his side. He can get to the bottom of the tank, but quickly comes back up. I did not feed him last night and I, like an idiot, didn't change his water because of it. Could my one slip up cause that much damage to his body? I know that once they reach a specific age/size, they should start eating once every other day and since I'm going to be transfering him to his 20g home soon, I figured now would be the time to wean him off daily feedings. Could this be bloat? Or maybe be sucked up a lot of air because I didn't fee him?

Thanks!

How old is he? My guy is 4 months-ish and he's in a 20 gallons but eats every day.
