I recently got 2 plays on saturday and now they're swimming near the top. It looks like they're trying to get mouthfuls of air which is weird for a fish, I honestly have no idea what I'm doing and think everything is wrong with my fish.
Is the tank cycled?
What are the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH?
What temp is the tank at?
Gasping can be from high ammonia and/or nitrite or not enough oxygen.
