Maroon Clown air blader problem?

[Icehockey_whino]

I have had a maroon clown fish for about 4 years. This a.m. I fed the tank as usual and about an hour later he seems to be be fighting to stay towards the bottom of the tank. He is acting eratic, there are no visible marks on him. He has been the king of the tank so there isn't anybody picking on him. He now is turning slightly sideways as he is swimming. It seems to me that he is having a problem with his air bladder. Is there any chance that he ate to fast and ingested air and that is causing his problems?

sounds like he ingested air, just give it some time and it should go away on its own, but if it doesn't you might have to bleed the bladder out, but you will need an anotomy book to better understand how to do it. Just make sure next tiem you feed it, the food is soaked and submerged.
