Air inside of my clownfish?

[arrecifeguy]

I have two clownfish , one of them is swimming right at the top, he's eating but when he's trying to swim down, he can but it looks like something is pushing his tail up and he ended right at the surface . He's not gasping btw . I've read it could be air inside of him and yes , the simptoms are the same , the question is: how I can help him to get rid of the air ? Thanks for any help guys

Are you feeding flakes? Some clowns have problems with feeding on the surface where they gulp air and it stays in. I'd switch foods so it's not feeding on the surface. At least this is what it sounds like according to your description.

Thaks for your reply I give them frozen planktonic food but yes, this fish like to catch the food that is floating on the surface , what can I do to help him ?

I answered what to do in my first reply. But a more detailed answer is sinking pellets, I highly recommend NLS

+1 or soak your food until they expand and sink first in a cup then add to the aquarium...until you get sinking food
