Clown swimming erratically
I’ve just installed a Feeder in to the tank getting ready for hols. I’ve a homemade feeding ring. Tested the feeder. The main one feeding on the surface was my female clown. A lot of smacking and breaking the water surface. Now she’s swimming very oddly with a lot of swimming head down, and I mean a lot. Somewhat concerned as it’s not normal. Not entirely sure what’s happened unless too much air has been gulped. Any ideas?

She just swallowed some air that now needs to come out on the other end. It's not uncommon with dry food and especially flakes. It usually gets better over time as the fish adapt and learn.

Thanks. First thing this morning she looks more horizontal. Hopefully will improve through the day.
