I have two hampala barbs, i'm not too worried about their health but almost every time they eat, they appear like they have buoyancy problems, there not floating upside down or anything but are usually swimming more with their heads pointed downwards and looks like there is a upward force pushing them up, and then after a day or so their back to normal. Is this just me or does this happen to other people, and should I be concerned.

Not a normal thing. Is it from floating foods. Maybe sucking in some air.

No, usually I just feed them frozen blood worms or sinking pellets, I do agree with the thought that it's just them inhaling air when they try to eat the frozen block of bloodworms. But I mean they are fine and back to normal already.
