If it mostly gets food from the water's surface or frequently feeds near something with a bubble output, that might just be the case. What do you feed it and in what part of the water does it normally dine? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

He varies where he eats at first he darts to the surface grabs some and sometimes he waits for the flakes to start sinking and grabs bits of those in the middle of the tank. so im guessing its just taking in air from teh surface
