Hi my 2 cherry barbs seem to just hang at the top of the tank they don't seem to eat everyday. One of them keeps facing the top and blowing a bubble out of his mouth is that normal ? I have a 48ltr tank 2 cherry barbs 2 lamp eyes 1 golden barb 2platys 5 neon tetras. Had a water test done the pet shop said the water was good.
 
I don't know liters in gallons but your overstocked or there isn't enough oxygen in the water. I would do a big PwC
 
Just looked it up and 12 gal for all those fish is the problem, I hate to ski d mean and in no way want to come off that way just stating that the neons by them self would have been fine but both the barbs should be in a 20 they like to swim fast and go from side to side I. Tanks, I have 6 in my 30 and they are crazy active
