Default Seahorse - Pouch Evac? Meds?

I have a male Kuda Seahorse that keeps doing this. He will swim up side down with his tail curbed around and down also. Like a horse shoe shape pointing down. It almost seems like he trys to go right side up but his body wont let him, like a buoyancy problem. Could air have got into his sack perhaps?

After about 10mins or so, he almost floats around, then it seems he gets the strength to bend up right while hanging onto something. Is this just a fun behavioural thing the male will do? Or is this a bubble that got trapped in his pouch, since he likes to ride the powerhead current? Seems odd to me. Anyone seen this before?


I will see if I can catch a picture of this & post it back.
