Colt Coral bloating

[calvertbill]

90% of the time my Colt looks as is should, in fact it looks like it's thriving. Every once in a while, however, it bloats up like 5 lbs. of sausage in a 1 lb. casing. By the following AM it's back to normal. Is this usual?

These two shots were taken 30 mins. apart. The first one looks out of focus but the colt's just bloated and that's not as bad as it sometimes gets.

It looks like it's just shrinking down not bloating out. Sould be anything. My Kenya does it all the time.

My Kenya Tree does that too. Last night I figured out why... sort of.
I got up in the middle of the night last night and saw that it had bloated up like yours and it had its sweepers out catching particles of food in the water column. That was the first time I had seen that, so it was kinda cool.
