Tips for Fish Working their Mouths Way Too Much [SOMETHING IS WRONG] - Do this NOW Before they Die!

Some of you have asked about fish that are working their mouths way too much. Like they are gasping for air, opening and closing that mouth 24/7. Some do it hanging at the surface, others down low in the tank. Is that normal? No! That fish is in trouble! There are reasons why it's happening and there are several things we can do about it immediately. The key is doing something about it fast, like NOW, before they die!

I learned this one the hard way. Take a look and tell me what you think in the comments below.

Some of you have asked for ways to support the channel. Well I now have an Amazon store front. If you would like to see some of the fish keeping products that I use and recommend, visit my Amazon store. If you buy something during that trip to Amazon, even if it's not from my store, the channel gets a (very small) percentage. It doesn't increase your cost by one cent and helps the channel. Pretty cool, right?! Here is the link to my Amazon Store Front:
