Long tail and floats at the top of water

I hope someone can help us, we have had Jake, for 2 years, he has been a great fish. About 4 month ago we would find him in vertical positions, but we would tap the tank and he would swim. Now he spends most of the time floating on his side at the top of his bowl. He is not eating much. It looks like his tail and fins are too long for him to be upright...how can we help him?

I don't think it's the tail/fins.. normally when they are a drag on the fish, the fish will take care of it themselves.. and not so pretty like >.> lol
So I would suggest taking PC's advice so others can help you out.
