Sick Beta-On Side-Floating-Help Please!

Now this evening, he is floating on his side on the top of the water. When we startle him, he will swim straight for a moment, but then when he calms down, he just goes back to floating on his side on the surface again. He also has a SLIGHT (slight) "s" shape to his body when swimming straight and we look straight down on him (like his backbone has a SLIGHT "s" shape). Is there anything we can do (I have heard something about using salt in the water)? Any ideas what could have happened? We have had this fish for about 6 months with no trouble. THANK YOU! IP: Logged

THat should help, at least it did with mine. I don't know if it is a disease or what, but I hope taht that helps! IP: Logged
