It's quite possible that it's got an internal parasite which has infected it's brain and spine.
is it feeding? Is it doing it all the time? If it is, I personally would isolate it, keep an eye on it then if it continues euthanise it.

Me again :-)

Is it being picked on by the others? I've usually found that within my own tank that if one is ailing- the others will attack it, and if it's not rescued quick enough they'll kill it.
