    i was doing research on swim bladder disorder and found out that if u feed flakes or other food that float when the fish go for it they get air too. the air is then released over a short while. they said the fish may swim funny or at a weird angle for a while but it is usually not a sign of a problem.

    would make sense but i only feed them frozen brine and mysis shrimp soaked in garlic. And during the time she released the bubbles she was swimming normal. Good info though :)

    ok, well i guess that's out then. once the fish are healthy and eating it doesn't really matter anyway.
