Both of my Endl.'s do this, after they eat, its as if they sucked in air bubbles, and they cant control there swimming problems. It only happens after they eat the pellet stuff, and they start doing this but gets back to normal soon after. Is this something I should worry about? Looks cute but rather be sure and not get a dead guy. ---I apologize for not posting photos, my phone is terrible at getting a nice shot, tried many times, but the video is always good guys, so please enjoy and inform me. Always appreciate it!

Gone off (spoilt/out of date etc) pellets often cause this as they are rot in the stomach before they get digested causing lots of gas build up.

This is what I have always been told, so I never give them pellets that are more than a month or 2 from opening.
 
I keep five endlis and I can tell you I haven't observed this type of behavior. If you think food is linked to this why not try another type of food and see if this continues or not?

I would be worried if I saw my endlis swimming like that.

Great advice guys, but my baby dels and albino eat the same food (home made sturgeon pellets that i ordered from this guy when i used to feed my sturgeons {high in protein, so i feed them this food so they can grow faster}) I guess I will start giving them only hikari and blood worms. Since this can be a risk, I rather not take my chances. THANKS ALOT FRIENDS!!
