The other night I witnessed the most bizaare thing I have ever seen. One of my Discus was having trouble swimming, like he was trying to get to the bottom but couldn't. After observing him for a while I then saw bubbles coming out of his mouth. Like he had just had a big burp. (Actually he looked like an airstone). Anyway he did this about 3 times in an hour and then he was fine and has been ever since. Has anyone ever seen anything like that happen before and what would have caused it.

I have seen this happen numerous times with my mbuna ..

Fish go up to the surface to feed, gulp some air in their mouths and then swim funny for a few hours till the air is released ...

HTH :D
