Is this a problem with my fish?

[oscarkb]

I have noticed lately that my fish, one tiger oscar and a Jack Dempsy, keep opening their mouths like in a yawning kind of way. I remember reading somewhere about this but i wasnt for sure what it said. Is this a problem with not enought filtration or something else? Thanks.

I have a 55 gal.
nitrate is 5-10
ite 0
hardness 250-300
alk 200ish
pH 8

yep its normal

the book or whatever you read was full of it.

Unless they are also gasping or flashig while gaping it sounds pretty normal to me.

Maybe theyre bored, can they see the tv from their tank?

Yea they can see the tv. I always see them staring at it when im watching it...kind of funny. Thanks everyone!

Sometimes mine eat too much too quickly and they'll do some yawning to help move the food down. Nothing to really worry about tho.
