PUT THEM IN A BUCKET WITH AIR ??? wHEN i CAME HOME MY POWER HEAD WICH IS THE ONLY OXYGEN to the tank was nst working. Was there a lack of oxygen ?? Some one help me out here.
 
Lack of oxygen. Take water out of that tank and pour it back in with force over a dozen times ASAP.
 
if you have a canister filter that shoots the water out but underneath the water like a bar, aim it upward to that it is creating flow or current at the top! or get an air stone if the fish are gasping at the top it is probably over stoked tank and you need to up the air supply i had this problem about 3 days ago and mine are bck to normal now

^%$*^%$Spacebar!
 
It has already been mentioned but you need to get the water moving in that tank and fast...
 
Everything is cool folks !!! My cats and aro are swiming around again !! It was the oxygen !! Im getting a new power head asap ! A lesson learned.
 
I hope you don't go to sleep without fixing the problem. I'm glad the fishes are doing well.
