Why do fish come to surface in an aquarium?

This is normal for a great many fish. In nature there is often food at the surface (bugs and such). It can also mean that there is not enough oxygen in the water. If the fish are starved for oxygen they will look elsewhere for oxygen. They will put their mouth at the surface and open and close it. It almost looks like they're trying to blow bubbles. If this is the case, get an air pump and aerator and put it in the water. The bubbles flowing through the water will add oxygen to the water.
