Our Frontosa is swimming nose down. Anyone know what may have caused this?

May be air in its mouth, did you just feed them?

Might be air stuck is his mouth when he had a big chomp at some food from the surface, they sometimes take a while to flush the air out, and sometimes ingest it which can be a big problem.

Does it have sunken belly? because that was the cause for some of my cichlids having the same problem.
