    where are the bodies???

The fish all seem happy enough, eating swimming etc - however they seem to spend about 90% of their time at the very top of the tank - as close as they can get to breaking the surface. I have...

    Oxygen in tank

    hi, hope somone see's this as I have the same query too, I haven't added an air pump as the local fish shop said it wasn't necessary - but my filter works underwater - therefore not breaking the water surface in any way, is this ok?? :huh:
