I have had my Polypterus senegalus for a long time now aka steven seagal. The problem is that he cant keep his ass down. Anytime he tries to swim down his ass is straight up in the water. I need help I dont want to lose this dude.

That's a very general question, because it makes it sound like it could be a swim bladder issue but then again it could also just be gas bubble, In while I'm not sure how you could get a poly to eat a frozen pea or two. Anyway bottom line can you give some more detail of the situation a photo or even a video of this activity of floating would be helpful to anyone here. =j
he either has a gas bubble or (if he's small) is just following his natural instincts and staying at the top. It seems to be he has a gas bubble. I had the same thing with one of my polys (lol and i freaked out), but eventually he will fart, and everything will be ok.
either bloat or it's a young bichir. My baby bichirs also had the same issue when it was around 3-4 inches. They were always on top of the tank and had their bodies on a weird angle. That instinct change once it grew.
Mines probably around 5 inches I don't know how old that would put him.

Floating at that angle would be uncommon for these guys. It could be a gas bubble in his bladder.
