bloated barbs

hello all!
i have 6 tiger barbs in a 55 gallon tank along with 4 silver dollars and 3 australian rainbows...2 of the 6 tiger barbs appear bloated after a small meal and seem to have buoyancy control problems...usually its lasts over night then gone the next day..i feed my fish a varied diet once or twice a day...only a small meal, usually flake food and spirulina wafers or frozen brine shimp as a treat.
any idea?
Thanks
Lono

maybe its constipation

try feeding them some boiled and shelled green peas. This will get their digestive systems moving and should clear up this problem.
