Swimming sideways, getting caught in the current, Listless, lethargic, got stuck in filter while I was gone.

Its my Platy Lucy. All the other fish seem to be fine, eating and swimming normal, Madonna still looks really pregnant. Lucy didn't eat this mornign and when I got home she was stuck sideways to the filter. I got her out and put her in the QT tank immediately. I checked up on her symptoms, it suggested an internal bacteria so I salted the QT tank to .1% and added some Jungle Tech Parasite clear.

Does anyone else have any other ideas as to what this may be? I have never had a fish act like this.

Shes still acting lifeless, She lets me guide her with the side of a net, shes hiding under a plant and when she comes out shes disorinted and lethargic, can't swim in a straight line and runs into stuff. Still not eating... Any Ideas?
