Admin koko Posted August 22, 2008 Admin Share Posted August 22, 2008 The reason I ask about the filter is it might be turning the water fast enough, if this is the case the fish will go to the top...Also if your still cycling the tank they will too...How often do you change the water? How is the ammonia,nitrites and ph of the tank....all of this can make the fish go to the top...not enough O2 in the water 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member bettaqueen Posted August 22, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2008 Maybe the fish would like and benifit from a bubble wand hooked up the the air pump vs the clam. Mine love it. It puts lots of oxygen in the water and they love to hop and play in it. Kind like a roller coster ride for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
