ADF just floats at the top

[JDH]

For the last few weeks my ADF just floats at the top of the tank. He goes down every now and then, but he's almost always just floating there. I don't think he's sick cause he still swims around the odd time. Does anybody have an idea why he/she might be doing this?

'Cause he's a lazy airbreather who doesn't want to have to go far to get his oxygen from the surface.

Mine do it, too.

Well i'm glad he's just lazy. lol

He makes it very hard to feed him... i use a turkey baster (sp?) to get the food right to him, but when he's up at the top it just floats right down and everyone else eats it. Whenever i catch him on the bottom i rush to get the food to feed him.
