Buoyancy Problem Please Help.

[Jpmc™]

One of my comets can't get straight, it always has it's tail a little bit higher than his head. He isn't flipping completley upside down, but I'm concerned.

I think it's because I feed them flakes, and they take in too much air when they eat.
Also, when he poops, bubbles come out of his anus.

Anyone?

They need more than flakes.
Green veg and some frozen foods like daphnia and brime shrimp.
Sounds like he gulp some air.

actually, I give freeze dried bloodworm and tubifex worm for a treat every 5 days.

Read the link I left an freeze dried foods can lead to constipation and swim bladder problems.
I would feed some peas.
