buoyant fish after feeding

[rwb500]

I was away for a few days and didnt have anyone feed my nickel-sized ocellaris babies while i was gone. i came back and fed them cyclopeeze. the cyclopeeze had been in a ziploc in the freezer for awhile and it was all dried out but i fed them anyways. I thawed it all out and each little piece was sinking as normal. but now (right after eating) they ALL have bulging stomachs and they are ALL buoyant. They are able to pretty easily angle themselves downwards to keep in their normal areas but its still scaring me. is buoyancy a common issue after eating dry foods? each cyclopeeze bit was sinking, so is the food even the problem? do perhaps my fish have some other problem that is unrelated to eating?

Was it freeze-dried CP (waffers)? If they ate off the water surface, then yes - buoyancy is common. They will get better overnight.

it was the stuff that comes frozen. but they do eat off the surface. not every particle sinks. so maybe they just swallowed some air? thank you for the reassurance.
