Baby SAL Swallowed Air?

[jeffthefish]

I think my baby SAL swallowed an air bubble. All he does is float at the surface in a corner. He tries to swim to the bottom, but he keeps bobbing back up. I think it's effecting his eating, since the frozen food sinks and he's not interested in pellets. Otherwise, he seems fine. Any ideas?

In case it helps, he's about 5", lives in a ten gallon (don't worry, I know), water is 75 F, and I just did a 15% water change. I haven't had the chance to test the water today.

Thanks folks.

Well, let me clarify. Swallowing air, is completely normal. But I think there is an air bubble trapped inside his body somewhere that he can't get rid of that is keeping him buoyant.
