Yes, but so does not eating because of water quality. If the jar is curling during water changes somethings not right. Maybe temp, maybe some thing else, maybe the jar just isn't comfortable in the tank. Does he have white stringy poop? Is he eating well? Has he jumped out of the tank at some point? Pics? Sunken belly is a symptom of a lot of things, hence why I posted the link to attempt to get more info that is needed to help you.

when he curl up I wait till he is normal back then feed him. most of the time he is near the top left corner he don't swim across the tank. I don't see any whiteish poop. mybe some blackish poop.
