Clownfish Burping

[kar93]

I fed some frozen brine yesterday. And my clownfish took in a big bit. After he has swallowed it his throat was bigger and he looked like he was gagging for air for a few seconds then an air bubble came out of his mouth as if he was burping. Is this normal?

yup. sometimes when my female clown grabs food from the surface, she'll swallow lots of air and then have trouble swimming until she does the burping thing too ... then she's back to normal.
