My oscars is staying up near top of the tank. I had my heater in the corner from cleaning and forgot to move back near my filter system. I thought they maybe liked the heat there. But i moved it back and they still staying at top in corner. Everything in water is fine just cleaned it 5 hours ago. Breathing looks ok no kind of marks or anything on them. They just kind float near top. Then sometimes go swim down then right back up.

thats usually a sure sign of low oxygen in your water ....make plenty of bubbles and surface waves for a few hours then they should return to normal .....

well i got bubbles pumping in there. I got my heater to 80f think that maybe to hot for them.

80 is fine ......mine are permanently at 80 .....please post your water parameters with liquid test ..

im not home now but everything was fine earlier cause i did a 50% water change. Everything was normal.

Well i will buy something to putt mor bubbles in there and see if that helps.

dont spend money just raise your filter outputs closer to the water surface ...

They are right at top. I got a air pump thing putting bubbles in it. Hmmm let me see what happens with putting more bubbles in it. I planned on that if it works great. If not i be back...lol

ok i got home made lots and lots of bubbles and it spooked them and they went down. But they are back up again. I reduced heat to 76 now to see if that helps. What now.

You need to check your water readings with a Liquid water test kit.

first of all if you want advise ....you are wasting time disregarding vital info .....i said they will be fine at 80 derees and leave the bubbles going for a few hours ...and post water parameters ....you dropped the temp ?????? stopped the bubbles ????? and no parameters?????? we cant help you if you dont help yourself my friend ?????????

never stopped the bubbles.... ph is 7.6.... 0 amm. anything else you may need. Now i see signs of ich could this cause it.

We need the test results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and Ph. Please test with the liquid bottles (not the strips- they are inaccurate)

Leave the bubbles for several hours and leave the temp at 80C
