My clown is floating

[1stcar86z]

I think my clown is having swim blatter problems. He keeps swimming down and floating to the surface. It is the first time ive seen him doing this, is there anything i can do to help him? I tried searching this but couldnt get the search to work for me.

I once had a clown do this... it isn't fatal by itself but they have a hard time feeding, etc. I'm not sure if there is much you can do to help :-(

Okay, I know I read this on here somewhere... if you can get your fish to eat smooshed up cooked peas without the skin, it may help. I don't remember what the cause was that smooshed up peas would make a difference though, but it can't hurt.
