I have a captive bred Bangaii and for the last 3 days it has only what I can call a seizure when it eats. As soon as I feed the brine shrimp, which I've fed it since it was small, it eats at a furious pace, starts twitching, zips around the tank, then stops and sinks to the bottom sitting upside down looking almost dead. It slowly breathes then after 5 min or so rights itself and with 10 min it's fine. Anyone else experience this? Any ideas on how to prevent it?

Sounds like something neurologically wrong with the Bangaii...Sounds terrible to witness. I hope someone more knowledgeable chimes in to help you and the fish out.
