Does anyone’s clownfish accidentally swallow air at the surface?

Hey guys, today I was regluing a frag that had fallen off. Well when I was working on it and the lid off the clowns thought I was feeding them. A couple hours later I noticed my female clownfish stomach was big and she was having trouble swimming. She’s still hungry and swimming in the currents of the power heads but is swimming up and down. While observing her I’ve seen her go to the surface a couple times and kind of shake and swallow some more air, even seeing a bubble come out of her mouth a couple minutes later when she was down and swimming back up. Has this happened to anyone else? I know clowns can act weird af.

If clownfish were a diver, I'd think having problems with air bladder impacting buoyancy control. I'll defer to others
