If your fish are swimming up to the surface and gasping for air it a sure sign that there is not enough oxygen in the tank; another sign may be an increased flaring of the gills. You need to buy a filter for the tank (or if you already have one a stronger filter) in order to more efficiently replenish the oxygen supply. If the 'tank' is a small bowl, change the water more often.
You don't take them out of the water.
Rub the puppy vigorously with a towel or soft cloth. Rub in an up and down motion on both of its sides. If the pup keeps gasping, you need to use a baby nose suction to suck any liquid from its throat.
Their is an air chamber in most fishes just like in submarines. When it gets filled with air the fish moves up. While, when air is released the fish moves down. This is precisely what happens in a submarine.
An electric air pump oxygenates the water in an aquarium, this allows the fish in the fish tank to breath. if there was no air pump the water would lose its oxygen and the fish would drown.
A gulpy? Instead of a guppy.
Blowfish/pufferfish inflate with water when underwater, but inflate with air when removed from that environment.
Your fish is gasping for air because it needs air to live. if you don't already have one, I recommend getting a aerator. This allows air to be in the tank with them still being under water. The fish fuzz, I don't know about.
If you are referring to the Pleco, then no. They are a fish and fish use gills to extract oxygen from the water. In poor water conditions you may notice fish staying at the top of the water almost like the are gasping for air, however most species of fish can not take air directly from the...well....air.
Fish that are active, with fins up, and swimming around. Fish that appear lethargic, have their fins clamped, or they are gasping for air is a sign of ill health that may be caused by bad water quality
I gasped for air after being underwater for a long time.
Fish may exhibit signs of distress when they are dying, such as swimming erratically, gasping for air, or floating upside down. They may also become lethargic and lose their appetite. These behaviors can indicate that a fish is in distress and may be close to death.
Some fish are surface fish and others are not. Without you saying what kind of fish it is that is at the surface it is impossible to say if anything is wrong. BUT! if the fish are breaking the surface and gasping for air, then you have a major water problem and need to do some very large water changes immediately. Otherwise your fish will die.
Signs that your betta fish may be dying include lethargy, loss of appetite, faded coloration, gasping for air at the water's surface, and unusual swimming behavior. It is important to monitor your fish closely and consult a veterinarian if you notice these symptoms.

You can tell if your fish tank has enough oxygen for your fish by observing their behavior. If they are swimming near the surface gasping for air, it may indicate low oxygen levels. Additionally, you can use a water test kit to measure oxygen levels in the tank.
because you had a bad dream. no bigee
1) Slowgish movement of the fish 2) Jumping or gasping for air 3) The fish will not eat feed (off feed) 4) The fish will hide under either plant any object in the water 5) swimming up side down
