Glo tetra doing front flips sideways but will be normal for feeding time (and is actually the fastest one to get food). . All other fish are perfect and my parameters are on point. This tank is years cycled and well maintained.. Any ideas what this could be ?

This looks neurological rather than a swim bladder issue to me. The fact that he can swim normally when his brain is aroused. Usually this is from Streptococcus or Mycobacterium infections. Antibiotic feed might help.
Other possibility is ammonia or chlorine poisoning but you said your tank is good on that front.

I don’t know but I’ve never had luck with the glos. Every one I got seemed fine and then dropped dead at random, different times within a few months. 😮💨 Just the price to pay with genetic mods I guess.
