Are certain fish breeds more susceptible to swim bladder disease?

I've been told that it could be related to Mycobacterium internal cysts, depending on where they develop. It's possible that these cysts can affect the swim bladders in a slow, chronically developing way. Diamonds don't have any special disposition to this, and Mycobacter is an infection that can manifest in many different ways, so that's a guess.

I agree with you, but it's also worth noting that the species of fish can play a role in this issue. For example, bettas are more prone to developing swim bladder problems if they're overfed. However, overeating can affect any fish, causing them to gulp in air, especially after meals, which can lead to swim bladder problems.

They're not just oxygen factories, they also help to detoxify the water by converting ammonia into a usable form. With a sufficient amount of plants, they can effectively mop up all the ammonia, preventing its conversion into nitrite and nitrate.

I've uploaded a video of the fish swimming, and it's the same behavior they always display.

I've been feeding them mostly dry food, but I've recently introduced live food into their diet, so I'll see if that makes any difference.
