Quit showing them pr0n. (but really...)

Check ammonia levels, also if the tank is warmer than normal you may
need an air stone...

Can you give us more information to work with?

Tank size
Number of fish
How long has it been running
Ammonia level
Nitrite level
Nitrate level
pH
Temp
Other fish, plants...

EMERGENCY
1. check the water parameters: pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrates
2. do the fish physical
3. change some or all of the water, add 1 teaspoon salt per 5 gallons water
4. from the water parameters and physical decide on a course of action
5. if there is nothing specific, do the tub to tub method
