datnoid possibly in trouble (bloat???)

[pshtex]

about 5 hrs ago i fed some earth worms to my datnoids and frontosas every one is fine except my small indo. it looks as if he can control his swim bladder now and is constantly swimming downward so as to not float up. however his balance is fine (does not have trouble staying upright)
ammonia and nitrite 0ppm
nitrate <5ppm
anyone have any suggestions or ssomething similar happen??? for now i am going to leave them alone and hope he is better tomorrow.

Where did you get the worms? Something similar happened to an oscar I had a while ago, he just ate too much at once and kind of sunk around for about two days. Hopefully your dats doing better by now and it's no longer an issue.

yeah he's fine now after about two hours of anxiety (both his and mine). i got them from a bait shop. i was worried that he might have been constipated after reading a few things and so i haven't fed them two days
