View Full Version : "Floating Fish"?

My fish are eating ok, look ok, but I have noticed in the past week that
they all spend a great deal of time at the water line......I have dual
aeration in there, so I would tend to doubt it's lack of oxygen. This also
coincided with the return of brown algae on the glass, which I have received
advice from this NG re nitrates and phosphates.
I don't even know if "floating fish" is the correct term for this
behavior......Any ideas why they would behave this way?
