erythromycin For Swim Blader Issue?

We bought a male solar wrasse and once acclimated we put him in the tank and he was swimming around just fine and finally went and hid. When he came out he started to get picked on and started to swim vertical. We moved him to a separate tank and he can only swim upside down so I'm suspecting a swim bladder issue. Has anyone ever helped a fish recover from this? I've been doing some reading and people talk about using erythromycin.

Or has anyone tried using pea's to help the issue?
 
I would recommend using medicated food with Seachem Kanaplex medicine and Seachem Focus, frozen food and a touch of garlic for flavor. This is how we treat the fish when I worked at LFS. Treat till fish is better but no more than 2 weeks.
