If this happened to one of your fish it was probably the fishes swim bladder, not it's stomach that popped. This can be caused by swim bladder disease which is caused by several different bacteria and possibly a virus as well. All of the causes are not well understood. For that reason, this is a very difficult ailment to treat and is also often very contagious. Generally speaking, the best course of action is to remove any fish showing signs of the disease and humanely euthanize the fish.

Signs of swim bladder disease include the fish not being able to swim normally, being very fat and it's scales sticking out like a pine cone.

To humanely euthanize a fish place it in a little bit of aquarium water in a zip top baggie and place that in the freezer. The fish will go into a stupor like state before dying and not suffer.
